Default New front fender?

the front fender on my 06 superglide is cracked. It started at the rivit and has slowly been moving towards the center. I tryed jb weld on the inside and it held for about 6 months or so. I dont really want to weld and fill and repaint this fender.

Well let me say that a different way. If I'm going to go through all that I was thinking of just getting a new different style fender. And I need suggestions and pics. I will be painting a hd 1/4 fairing for the bike soon otherwise I would just live with the crack.

I kind of like the fenders that come down further and flare out on the frame side, but am not sure how that would look with the fairing.

Open to all ideas.

Chop it by cutting off the part that's cracked.

the crack is coming off one of the rivits and is right in the middle of the fender.
otherwise that would be pretty cool

Search ebay for "harley front fender" tons of options. I put a saracen front on mine and really like the way it looks. You can get a blank front like did and drill and cut to fit the front. Real easy to do, just have to paint to match.
