There are aftermarket chrome headlight mounts that retail for around 12 bucks.

They can be found here:

If you have the time and devotion it sounds like you can easily make your own.  Go for it!

You can fab up some simple headlight mounts using T-Clamps available from your local hydraulic supplier. Here you can see the T-clamps are used as fasteners for the brackets that the headlight will mount too. Once you make up the brackets, it’s easy to make whatever length triangle plates you need. You can also use aftermarket signals that thread into the headlight as well.

THAT'S what I'm talking about. Very clean with the slick fork brace (or lower tree or whatever it is...)

I want to go to there.
i love this idea
