Sorry for the delay, I work nights and slept through the daylight yesterday. :\

Note that the front fender is a little too long and I have yet to get around to dismounting it and trimming the back and mounting a mudflap, so it has caught a couple of times mounting curbs and actually bowed near the Airzoundz vessel and consequently got a little closer to the tire at the bottom. I was able to largely bend it back in place, but originally it followed the curve of the tire a little better. I expect I'll be able to get better leverage on it when I finally get around to dismounting it and I should be able to get it near perfect again.




Since you are considering buying a set of these I assume you are curious about how the fenderline follows the tire at the rear as well, so here's an overall pic and a close-up of the rear wheel.



Towards the rear of the rear fender it strays away from the line of the tire just a little bit. This is really the only place where I can tell that these fenders were originally designed for 650b. Nonetheless, it still stays pretty close to the tire. I don't seem to get any water coming around it and my girlfriend riding behind me hasn't said anything about spray escaping around it. I could actually center the fender around the tire a little better, but I wanted it pretty close to the front of the rear tire where spray could potentially get around it and on my legs. Most of the time I don't notice it because it still looks good. If you didn't know, and weren't looking for it, you probably wouldn't notice it at all. From most angles it looks natural and centered.



Let me know if you need a super close up of the gap between the tire and the fender on either of these.

I'll have to dig up my Velo Orange copies of these and see if they are close to as long. I don't think the front fender of the VO hammered fenders are nearly as long, but I recall them being quite long enough, and I like them long! I dismounted the VO ones to put on my touring rig and got the Honjo's for my commuter because the Honjo's have two slots running along them that lend themselves to pinstriping.

Also, IIRC I ordered a longer L shaped bracket from Velo Orange to lower the front fender down to closer to the tire. I also cut down a cork to use as a spacer down at the front of the rear fender to push it closer to the tire.

Although it says it's a Honjo bracket, IIRC my fender came with a different one.

I also recommend VO's leather fender washers. These can help eliminate the rattle you sometimes get with metal fenders. I've tried rubber ones and they mostly get shredded sandwiched as they are between two metal bits.
