Default dyna Eyebrow

that 'eyebrow' above the headlight (eg FXD 2003), has it a function or is it just for the looks?
Has anyone a pic without eyebrow and with original headlight?

greetings,
De

C'mon, your just joshin' That eyebrow is what holds the headlight to the motorcycle. You kind of need it with a "top" mounted headlight.

De,

The headlight is mounted "upside down" to the eyebrow as shown in diagram below.
I've seen images of Dyna's over her which have the headlamp mounted to the lower tripple tree...I think it was done by Joe the PowderPro (JRK5892). I'll do a search for you!

Edit: found it over here: Ugly headlight speedo, what can I do?

Also houses the idiot lights.

Never liked the way it looked on my '00 FXDL and spent a bunch of $ to get rid of it. Set the bike apart from the other dynas, at least until HD came to the same conclusion and did away with the eyebrow on all the dynas.

I added the headlight visor to my 2007, as I felt it was an item that makes a swingarm FX complete.
