Spacers for 749 fork offset

Does anyone know a good place/part for correcting the +5mm offset of 749 forks on my 2000 750? That was a minor oversight in my SBK fork swap, and the only thing I can find is a brembo kit of 4 bolts and 4 spacers costing $40. Since I only want two spacers for my single caliper, $40 seems a little much, and the local hardware stores don't have anything like that to fit an M10 bolt.

I need two of THESE v   ... And yoyodyne is out of stock...

The forks are 15,, offset and your brake rotors are 10mm? Then you need brake rotor spacers or 15 offset 6 bolt rotors (2002 748r)
If you are trying to go with 15mm offset rotors with 10mm offset forks the you need those 4 bolt spacers and longer bolts.

I guess I said that backwards. I'm not exactly sure how offset is defined, but I need the caliper to be 5mm closer to the wheel in order to center it over the rotor. The spacers would necessitate longer bolts, I guess. I was mostly just hoping to avoid buying all four of each since my bike has single front brakes, and thus can only use two.
Does anyone know where I can buy these as sets of two instead of sets of four?
