Here is a rough sketch of how I think this will work:

Exploded side view of rear wheel - the little mushroom looking bits on the left are bolts.


I like the concept of a swingarm mounted fender as you can keep it closer to the tire without fear of it hitting the tire.

But using aluminum for the support would probably not be my choice. Aluminum stress hardens and will most likely crack and break on you.

What Mario suggested is what I was thinking about too. A three point attachment would be the best all around. With the plastic fender, it's not like you have a lot of weight to support.
