Check out Shadetree Fabricators. They will custom make a bobber fender for your bike with struts for well under a grand. I almost had them make one for my blackline (same fender as the Slim), but I ended up buying another motorcycle.

A SlimLuxe, or a Slimitage... I love it. I wonder if that could be done with the stock Slim fender struts instead of the chrome strut covers...

yeah looks awesome. I tried using the stock struts on the heritage fender and they didnt line up. chrome struts aren't too bad though and a little powder coat or paint can change that up real fast.

when i mounted the heritage struts to my bike i tried to use the stock slim seat but it didnt sit right and i wasnt going to cut into my slim seat. so i ended up getting the le pera barebones seat. Nameless. cut the struts down like how ryan reed has his deluxes. wicked sick! eventually ill fully custom my slim like that. check out his stuff on Instagram you wont be disappointed. nameless_hd

cheers
