Pls help me with headlight brackets

I want to buy cool headlight mount brackets. Look at the first pic.
But I do not know length of STOCK headlight bracket. Who can measure it? Look at the second pic. Because I do not want to buy brackets longer than stock.
Thanks!

From my experience, most of these brackets are longer than the stock setup. I used something similar and they had to be modified.

I think they'll be/look too long.... Besides, the way they mount might be too wide for our headlight buckets...
A shorter version

I agree with you. I also think that 12 cm is too long... But you offered very expensive brackets for me
What else of brackets do you know? I founded:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/52mm-53mm-Fork-Mount-Headlight-Lamp-Brackets-Ducati-Custom-Naked-Bike-/181668394662?hash=item2a4c47b6a6:g:-hwAAOSw2s1Uwua3&vxp=mtr
I think 10 cm is OK (because you say that 9 cm is stock).
And:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bikeit-Motorcycle-Scooter-Universal-Stealth-Headlight-Bracket-50-53mm-/191695126027?hash=item2ca1eb7e0b:g:xGAAAOSwiLdV~P7c&vxp=mtr
But I think that these bracket are ugly
