Good eye (memory), Neil.

I only actually completed one. In the limited amount of driving I did with that and a taped-on one (straight road, obviously!), there was no obvious change, according to my butt-o-meter.

Not that I'd ever trust a butt-o-meter.

I always planned to A-B-A them, and will do coastdown testing very soon to settle the matter. Turns out a strong-ish wind has come up today, so this won't be the one. I'll update the original front fender skirt thread when I've got some data.
