Default Fatboy Headlight Shroud

Ok so I am looking to get rid of the huge headlight shroud around my oversized headlight. But so far am having no luck and finding something to replace it with.

I want to go old school look with no chrome.

Will I have to get a whole new headlight? Or will I be able to keep the one i have and just find some kind of mounting kit for it?

Any links to some reputable places would be great thank you in advance.

Ok after some more searching I think I want to go with the dual light setup but I can't seem to find any in black it seems that everything is all chrome any ideas on where to find a dual headlight setup in black or something other then chrome?

And I still can't tell if I decide to stick with the one headlight will I have to get rid of the light I have or can I just get a shroud for it?

Again thanks in advance

I went and looked at your pics in the Fat Boy pics section. Either your bike has a headlight trim piece added, or that's what they did that year. Mine is not like that at all

Not sure if ya can see it that well due to the bag on top

Buying the parts and getting them powder coated is about your only option.

That is about what I figured, oh well no worries.

I am just going to slowly try and de-chrome her

Thanks for the tips
