Make your own. I got two sets out of a $1 plastic placement from Ikea.

Hit the Goodwill & pickup a wide leather belt, cut to size, drill a hole or 2 & pop rivet or bolt onto your fender.

Cut out flaps from bleach bottles. Pop rivets or bolts with safety nuts.

The best part is they are $9.99 "buy it now" so you don't have to go through the bidding process.

These fenders are awesome! I have been riding to work in my business casuals with nary a perceivable splotch on my clothes.
