Raceblades, with the rubber straps that you wrap around fork blades and stays then latch to little tabs on the fender mount, are OK for occasional use but they bounce and rattle. The impact of hitting railway tracks at a good clip on our tandem sent enough impact into the rubber straps to break them, ejecting the front fender onto the road. Fortunately we were using it as an add-on forward of the front wheel, so the fragments didn't jam the wheel in the fork. Since then we use P-clips and careful tailoring to mount proper bolted-down fenders in interrupted sections when they won't fit between the tires and the frame. With a little (OK, a lot!) of planning, you can make a set of Planet Bikes (or others) quick-releasable, and they'll look as good, and work as well, as the OPs installation on his ShoGun. Just remember that the challenge of putting fenders on a racing bike is not just tire clearance -- your foot may hit the front fender during slow-speed turns and trackstands -> FDGB.
