Default FB headlight on a SB

Well, I did it, I bought a FatBob headlight off of Ebay cheap to put on my 06 Street Bob. I bought it knowing that it wouldn't fit easily between the midglide trees. Now my predicament is finding an adapter that will move the headlight out about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. All of the adapters I've been able to find have the bolt from the bottom, but the bolt goes sideways at the top for a single headlight. Does anyone know where I may find an adapter that may work? I haven't seen this done before and think it will look unique if I can figure out the best way to do it. Thanks.

I wonder how hard it would be to have something made?

Why not use a stock Fat Bob headlight bracket, with a modified extension piece from the lower tree brace to extend it out where you want it.

I had the same issue putting the Cobra II on my Lowrider. I found a mount on ebay for a springer that worked for me similar to the one below. It was my 3rd try at a mount...
