Re the front wings. I had replaced my Nippy front wings (which I thought would act like very effective parachutes...especially over 70 mph) with cycle type, like yours. During trials or even on just road work there was a huge amount of muck sprayed up and back. Ask the wife about her face mud pack on our very first trials hill!!!!.
I extended the back edge of the wings (or mudguards to give them their rightful name) as far down as I dared hoping they would not snag any lumpy ground/stones when trialing.........still nice face mud pack because of course the sprey misses the guards when steering on lock either side of dead ahead! Next stage was a triangular infill with the point attached part way up the guard and base fixed to lower stay.....much better but not perfect. Then added rubber (inner tube) extensions on bottom......much better....but not pretty!
Looking at your set up do not expect the wife to last longer than perhaps the second hill......or wonder why you run out of friends to accompany you

They are 15 inch wheels for road use....but used the 19" on trials.
