Not sure I have ever seen as complicated a headlight mount as the H2 has with the multiple grommets and parts. But one part has got me confused, the lower headlight adjuster mount. My headlight shell has a welded nut on the bottom that seems to be for that, but I don't have that mount bracket, and have no idea what it might mount to on the lower triple clamp. Anyone have a pic of that, or a lead that shows that bracket so I could make one possibly?

Every headlight bucket I have seen on a triple has that nut welded on the bottom.
Not for an adjustment as there never was such a thing.
Up and down adjust by losening the nuts on the sides.
Left and right uses the little screw in the chrome ring.
Cant recall seeing a Stanley bucket without the nut though.... lol

Thanks, makes sense then. I don't have any front turn signals either, just rears and those are in poor condition. Honestly I dislike the look of the original DOT mandated signals so much I won't use them, so will have to machine some custom mounts for small ones anyway.

The nut is useful on a Z1 or KZ, they have a bracket.
