Interesting about the 3D printed A-arm no longer an option. They have fender problems where the welds on the bracket tend to break, might be interesting if they could 3d print the bracket

A light-weight aluminum cycle fender would weigh less.

This would increase the unsprung weight, but increase range and/or top speed.

Are wheel pants worth the trouble???? - Pilots of America
Mud and gravel in the things adding weight and making weird noise when you least needed it, much more painful to pack wheel bearings, change tires, check brake pads (or change them), and trying to keep those unfamiliar with planes from stepping on them to climb in the plane.

Parametric design sucks all the safety margin out of the part, apparently.
