Default Iron headlight mod

I Just got my new sportster home and have been going over it. One of the things I didn't like what the little visor over the headlight. I didn't realize in the dealer that the light is held in place by the visor. Anyone seen a good mod or part to remove the headlight and have it mounted on the lower tree or somewhere else without the visor being there?

There are numerous threads on this man, best bet would to do a search on the subject and cruise through them till you see the mod you like.
