It probably wouldn't be the classiest way to mount them, but could would this be effective at keeping dirt/water off of my back and legs? Would it matter not having the little bit of fender hanging over in front of the front brake caliper? Please chime in with your thoughts.

ps - I've been called a hack by more than one person.
