I may go ahead and paint the front and if I come across something that will work, then add it and repaint it.
This is the look I'm after (the rear is not exact, but you get the idea).

I agree with kicking out the bottom. I'd like to find a dove tail that I could weld on it, any suggestions? At least on the rear I'm keeping the dove tail by cutting it off, lengthening the fender and welding it back on.

It can then used as a template to cut sheetmetal to shape to your ideal look.

You just have to do the chop the same as in the rear its just more tricky because of the angles on the front fender

I respectfully disagree. The FB front fender is one of the defining characteristics of the bike. Once you change it out to a Deluxe/Heritage fender and change out the wheels, there is nothing left to distinguish it from a Deluxe or Heritage anymore. That's why I will never change out my front fender, even if I end up extending the rear. I am changing my wheels, but they are just customized stock wheels.

I like mine. 
Fork lowers will done soon. . . . plus a Black trim ring for the headlight.
did it last year. . . . the paint was the most difficult to match.
Good Luck.
Forgot to add, that the Exhaust will be changed as soon as Dr. V-Twin gets it shipped.
Thanks Drew.
