Default Front fender for Fat Boy

I'm looking for a new front fender for my 2011 Fat Boy with less metal, something similar to the Softail Slim. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm in the UK so something from Europe would be ideal but I can buy from the US is needed.

Thanks.

At one time I had the Fatboy front fender on my bike. I also liked the look of the Slim fender. So, I cut the FB fender, and liked the results. Using a cut off wheel and a file to finish the edge, it didn't even chip the paint. Looked pretty close to the Slim fender.I don,t remember exactly but the front leading edge I removed 51/2 to 6 inches. The trailing edge can be cut as well, but looks good left as is.

cut your stock and lower it, or buy an aftermarket one
