The single bracket shown in the pictures is to hold the bulkhead between the headlight bucket and front wheel. The headlight buckets are secured on three little threaded studs welded onto the rear of the big opening. This is the earlier European mounting scheme that was left on U. S. Spiders by Pininfarina up to some point in the mid 70's or even 80's.

If it's just the one pictured, aren't you concerned that the bucket might shake/wobble/buzz when driving with only a single support point at the bottom and nothing else to hold the top? (resulting in either the headlight beams shooting all over the place due to instability, more blown headlights due to that shaking about, and/or eventual fatuge failure from the weight of the bucket and headlight) Don't get me wrong, I really like what you've done, but am trying to understand the mounting process with my mentality being that older motorcycles have proven for decades and decades that even 2 mount points isn't enough to stabilize a 5" headlight and housing, so certainly just one holding a 7" can't possibly be enough.
