Same here, everything I found seems to mount to the headset. I have a '58 AllState with a screw in that hole and I can't see how a windshield could mount from there without interfering with articulating the headset.

I looked at lots of old windshields, but all seem to mount to the headset. I'd love to see a pic of how one mounts here.

How do you mount an effective windshield from this screw unless there's something more going on...

It's crazy to have the screen 'levitating' like that. It would definitely bounce like crazy…

Can you see the back of the lock thru the hole? Could be related to mounting or removing the lock?
