Default aftermarket headlight for 1980 xlh????

I was looking around the internet for an aftermarket headlight that will fit on a 1980 sportster that will make it more 50-60's duo-glide-ish, but im having some trouble... do you guys know any neat mods or ways to eliminate the visor and relocate the speedo/tach? i just dont like the "mickey mouse" speedo/tach "ears" or headlight visor.

P.S. do i need turn signals in Ca. for an 80 sportster???

can you guys point me in the right direction for relocating the tach, speedo, and idiot lights too, just some ideas. are there smaller aftermarket ones i could buy that would work with my bike? i'm a perfectionist and i like making all the little accessories work, but of course it has to run first
