CRC2 sells a very nice chrome 7 inch headlight bucket:
http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/
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"?
http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/Index_Main_Frame.htm
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.
