I also made a much larger and longer flap,also from a soft rubber floor mat, for the rear fender as that bigger rear tire was throwin all kinds of road debris up on the luggage rack, trunk I bought for it,and the insides of the saddle bags.Problem solved,not to mention,the flaps I made don't look that bad on the bike,almost like they came on it from the factory.

On other bikes I use a high strength dual compound epoxy resin or Master Seal MS Polymer adhesive compound*. You do have to abrade the surfaces which I find hard to do .... deliberately damage an item to prevent damage  just doesn't sit well with my complex sense of order. Plus I kinda like the short fender design. Beowulf (and no doubt others) used to do rad guards ... would that help?
