Default Headlight Lift?

Has anyone done this? Where can I get one? With my tall risers and narrow front end I think my headlight would look better if it was higher up. I did a search and found a dead link to ebay. I can't seem to find one on there. I also remember a recent thread that had a pretty cool one, but it was spendy and black, I need brushed or chrome

I have a mount that will need trimming but I was thinking of using this with spacers and mounting it under the upper tree. Wanting to bring it up just under the speedo.
