Yeah, it's a weird little rectangular bracket thing with some tabs. I don't know what to call it. I tried to find one a few years ago and no one had them, then I recently dug one up from the bottom of one of my "miscellaneous parts" boxes.

I have one sitting at home on my workbench waiting to go into my Sprint, so if I have some time I'll take a picture of it later.

You don't really need it though, it's just if you want to lock down your headlight angle adjustment. You can usually just tighten the 2 side screws enough to put enough tension on the headlight to hold it in place.

Maybe people stock them now I dunno? I put that part in the "frequently lost and/or discarded" category, along with Super/Sprint battery covers, under headset covers, inner frame drip trays, clutch cable rubber sleeves, etc.

Yeah..that's one of those parts that most bikes i run into just plain don't have.

You can use it to adjust your headlight beam hight, though ... that's why it's got that elongated notch for it. ( IIRC )

Here's some low quality pics I snapped w/my phone on my way out the door this morning. Will give you some idea of what this part looks like.
