Thanks for that bit of info, I'll take it off for a day or so and see which way I like it, its not ugly to me but who knows.
The fender I found at a local junk store in a pile of Misc parts , I believe Montesa , Penton , Bultaco, and BSA all used Aluminum fenders in the 60's/70's , I did cut the frame behind the shocks and bent the supports down to get the right seat angle which also made the fender arch fit.

The bolt hole on the belt guard (I'm at a loss for the proper terminology...) slips in, so you don't have to completely remove the bolt. You do have to take one screw out completely where it attaches in the front. And there is one bracket in the center of the guard where its connected that you have to remove. That's it, I think.
Having said that, I like the guard and think yours looks fine with it.
What's your rear fender?
