Honjo fenders are free of any holes so installation preference can

Sometimes. Not always. These days many are coming with the
under-fork-indent already in place (the ones I got from Ben's Cycle for
my Jack Taylor came that way) and every now and then you even find some
with the holes for the fender stays already drilled.
Berthoud fenders, while not prepped for the stay hardware, are drilled
and indented for the fork crown (a bigger deal than it seems),
dictating how far back the tail of the fender will be if concerned for
curb drop contact.
I mounted my Honjos (105 cm on front) critical of the forward coverage
being enough to eliminate any upward or forward wheel spray. My
previous set's front was a bit short there and I was getting wet/dirty
from front wheel spray blowing back on me. Now front wheel spray
remains more contained, drains more effectively and an adequate
mudflap completes the rear protection to my preference.
If I ride off a curb I angle my wheel path as I near the edge and turn
the front wheel a few degrees more once the wheel is on the street. It
gives a smudge of clearance to prevent that contact of the back of the
fender.
