eyebrow is the piece above your light that the light mounts to.

Thanks Rounder for the info, does anyone know what size the stud is that mounts the headlight to the eyebrow?

Sorry I should have elaborated bout the eyebrow (thought everyone knew what it was though). Anyway, I've seen a few custom headlights mounted to them before and it really looks awkward especially if it's a bullet style headlight. When I first got my 04, the one thing I hated was that eyebrow because everyone would walk up and say "wow thats one of the best looking sportsters I've ever seen!" so at that point I tried a bunch of different headlights, chrome eyebrow, black eyebrow, and finally caved and went with a wide glide front end to eliminate the brow all together - was the best improvement I made as far as asthetics IMO but will cost ya some $$$$ thats for sure

I am not willing to go the WG route, just want to keep it simple; but change the stock look.

Thats cool man - if your gonna keep the eyebrow, then my suggestion would be to get a chrome bucket and chrome eyebrow (or cover if want to save $$) with bullet trim ring

this is the route I went with at first and was the cleanest / best looking of all with the eyebrow
