Default To brow or not?

I think my next mod will be a mid glide conversion with trees coming from accutronix. They make some trees that will use stock brow over the headlight. I am polling to see what folks think about keeping vs. getting rid of the brow w/ a mid glide switch. I personally am partial to it, but counterpoint is always good too.

I vote "aye, keeper laddie".
IMO, it's one of the things that make a Low Rider a Low Rider....

Wow - I thought I was the only one that actually liked "the brow". I changed the bucket to chrome last year - but the brow stays - something about the look that works for me

I just spent countless hours taking that damned brow off and drilling my trees. OK not countless, but like 5 or 6!!

Take it off, or you can't ride with us anymore!!! J/K

It's all a personal preference. I don't care for them, but others do.
