A mud flap works real well.

I installed a splash guard, to minimize the damage to the oil cooler. I wanted to keep the bob-tail look, and from the side, the guard is hardly noticeable.
Another route might be a Dyna Switchback front fender. I haven't measured the mounting holes, but it looks like it would fit. If you need a Superior Blue or Amber Whiskey fender, you could *probably* buy one direct through Harley Davidson.

I agree Gerald the stock fender does not look like it will give much protection from road debris , concerned about oil cooler . it looks exposed with short fender . I'm going to check with klock werks on their fender option , will keep you posted .

That's going to look great when painted,Wayne. A 16" wheel & tire sure has a different look under that fender,than an 18".
Just a thought ... maybe nothing ... I'd be careful changing too much of the front fender function ... the same changes you make to keep dirt and water off the engine might also deflect some of the cooling air to the engine ... I'm not an engineer, but that was my first thought
What about a TG front fender- I think the slider part #s are the same so the mounting wouldn't be an issue. Would the difference in tire size be a factor?
This is a thread about that, post #9 -
