Default Aftermarket Headlight install

I'm adding a 5 1/4" x 9" headlight to my FXSTC. I'm sure i will need a different mtg bracket to move the light away from the neck. Does anyone have any suggestions on what they used ?

Thank you friend ! I'll check it out. Saw a couple brackets that may work on Ebay but not sure it looks right.

I tried 2 or 3 before I got what I wanted. Mine is a 1 X 3 chrome billet bar that extends it 3 inches out and 1 up. I'm also using the inverted front end that sets the light in a different location than stock.

I got mine out of a box of loose parts at my local indy shop, but this is identical to it.
