FXDL Headlight Eyebrow
Hi All,
So I really like the look of the headlight eyebrow that the a ton of the older models have. I have a 2007 FXDL and naturally that year doesn't have it. I know that the 2005 FXDL and other Dynas have the visor. My question is, does anybody know if there is one out there that will work with the 07? I know that the older ones are different from the 14's-on, where they don't act as the attaching point for the handlebars. From what I could see at Ronnie's, I'd need the headlight housing for an older one as well, because the eyebrow attaches to that. I'm just wondering if it will fit or what. Any info will be helpful. Thanks.

Not quite. I mean the piece that sits on top of the whole thing. Picture linked

I haven't looked for an adapter that I will describe...maybe no one makes it 
AS you know those 49mm trees have no provisions for the "Eyebrow", so if there was an adapter (or you may be able to make depending on your resources), that attaches under your risers (think 1/8-1/4" plate sandwiched) that provides the provisions to mount the "eyebrow"

+1 with multihdrdr, the 49 mm forks and a wider distance on the forks predicated the removal of the eyebrow.

Thanks guys. I knew the triple tree was different. I was hoping for an adapter. I'll figure out something I'm sure.

Thinking again about "making an adapter" by the most simplest means...
Maybe a plate under the top tree sandwiched by the riser bolts, then some vertical "stand-offs" on the plate just in front of the tree that you would fasten the eyebrow to
