Headlight Replacement Ideas

My el-cheap stock plastic headlight shell has fallen victim to the dreaded crack disease. For the moment, my good buddy Duck Tape is handling the job OK, but I am sure it will tire and fail.
I know people here have replaced the headlight with various others. I would like to hear what you did and how well it worked. Pictures always welcome. Part numbers, prices and sources VERY welcome.
This needs to mount to a stock savage. So you guys that replaced the front end (triple Ts, forks, etc), no need to tell me you did so.
I do run a Suzuki windshield, but I also have a dremel to whittle it down if needed.
As always, many thanks!

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

This is a 7" Harley bottom mount headlight. The first try was a small piece of steel, two holes to match the Triple-T and a forward center hole for the headlight. Placed the headlight far forward, for me.
Second try, which I like, was just four pieces of aluminum 2" angle. Two holes to bolt to the Triple-T, one hole for the headlight, and 8 little bolt/nuts to hole the sides. No change to the stock Triple-T, just a little saw and drill to match two holes to one hole. With the boot to place the mount just the place I wanted it sit.
The headlight I got in eBay, it was for a buggy headlight but he only had one. Motorcycle was not mentioned and cyclist did not notice the ad. I got it for the $10 start bidding plus $10 shipping. I stole it. It looks like this one from the web:

($220).

Thanks for the pics and info Paladin.
I've been looking at a chrome adapter, but they run around $60. Those 4 pieces of angle are a nifty solution!

I got this from
www.demon-tweeks.co.uk
it cost me £60 odd it is now £126.00 it is called a Cibie Oscar and it takes an H4 bulb.
Once you are in demon-tweeks click on motorsport, scroll down a little and click on lighting & accessories then front auxiliary lamps then scroll down to Cibie Oscar.
