Default The Eyebrow

Do you like the "eyebrow" over the headlight? The more I look at mine the less I like it. I know it's a tradition on the Sportster(although the first year bikes did'nt have it). I'm beginning to think my Trini will look better without it.

I think the brow gives it more character. Actually, this weekend I just put on a headlight visor under the brow. It's all chrome with the HD eagle engraved in the chrome.

That, I have mixed feelings over now that I look at it - maybe it will grow on me.

Well, it doesn't look too bad with the chrome trim ring but I don't really like it, no choice, that is also the mounting bracket of my headlight, if I go for a different headlight in the future, I will get rid of that.

I think the chrome trim ring really looks good. I installed one on mine.

My 02 Superglide has the eyebrow. I don't like it, but so far it hasn't bothered me enough to get me to change it. Not one of Harley's better styling decisions.

None on the Custom model coz the headlight is mounted on the lower triple tree.

I like the custom headlight over the roadster headlight. I wish I could change that out but it would be expensive
