Hey, I've been busy and just now realised that this stream of questions
might bring closure to something that's cornfused me: When does "front
fender coverage" and "may not extend lower than..." end and "There must be
no streamlining forward of the front edge of the front rim" begin?
Am I safe in interpreting this to mean that wheel-mounted fenders aren't
considered streamlining (at least in this particular aspect)? That the word
"streamlining" applies to body-mounted pieces - fairing, air intake,
windscreen, whatever...but as long as the fender meets the other rules - it
is okay to have a very streamlin-y front fender?
This question has nagged me -- I'd really like a nice definitive answer.
Thanks.

While I am not the authority, YES it is legal,
as it satisfies the front fender rule, 180 degrees
of the circumference of the wheel must be visible
