Default 04' Headlight Mod?

I am contemplating changing the headlight on my 04 SG. I was looking for a kit, but havent come across much yet. I want to get rid of the eyebrow. is there anything out there. I dont mind doing a bit of modification/fabrication if I have to. is there any one out ther that have done this? Let me see pictures.

i did on my '02 which had the eyebrow. Once you remove the eyebrow you are left with a top tree with a semi-circle cut out of the front facing foward and all of the ugly wires running down the front. after asking around here I found one place that sells and L-shaped piece of chrome that goes across the front of the tree and bolts to the screw holes the eybrow came out of but the problem is that despite their claim it fits, they didnt cut the semi-circle to be opposite of the semi-circle on the tree so there is nowhere for the wires to run without being cut in half. i took a dremel and cut/ground the semi-circle and screwed it on. The wires still dont look great so i bundled them all the the side of the neck as best i could but didnt want to get in to taking off the tank to try and hide the slack or anything.

and then to mount the new light i measured the best i could to find dead center on the bottom tree and drilled a hole and mounted a new mounting block and the light then connected the wires as need be. I really hated that stock light with what i was trying to achieve for the look of the bike. It made the front look stubby especially with no front fender and the high ***-end of the original shock/fender set-up in th rear. Below is the bike as i bought it and then the mo-betta version i just got done making
