I just looked at the pictures.  I too prefer original.  However, as flares
go, these seem to have a nice shape.  They may also expand your option for
larger wheels and tires - which are certainly a problem with stock 13" size
wheels!  So maybe just get a new back left fender and have someone move the
flare over!

Oh, and if you need another tandem, I've gone one I'd love to sell!
