CRC2 sells a very nice chrome 7 inch headlight bucket:

It includes the ring and everything.

I think the headlight itself is another $20 or so if you need it.

Much easier and nicer than haunting eBay or a salvage yard for a filthy, cracked, rusty plastic stock bucket with missing pieces.

My GS850 is wearing one of the CRC2 headlight buckets after a similar Vetter-ectomy:

Thanks!! I've been looking for something like that. Is that the one they sell for a "kawasaki"?

Yup, it's a copy of a Kawasaki part. The one I used was the one with the 8mm threaded holes at either side. I had to do a little rummaging at a hardware store for stainless 8mm allen head bolts and a couple of rubber washers to mount it.

It's a bit bigger inside than the stock headlight with the plastic bucket, but it still takes a while to get all the wiring stuffed in there and laid out so it doesn't chafe.
