HYDRA... Monsterparts carries dual headlights, although they are back ordered right now.  I placed an order for one about two weeks ago and I am still waiting.  Jeff at Monsterparts is great to deal with, he has kept me informed that the headlights are still waiting to come in from Europe... Call him up or email him and I am sure you won't be disappointed.  They also, supposedly, mount right into the stock brackets and you can retain the stock harness.  Hope this helps.
thanks for the tip thejsnide  waytogo
i'll look into that. make sure you post up once you've installed them.

Pretty much all headlights would come with some sort of mount. I took off the round healight mounts and used the ones that come in the box to attach directly to the forks.

hey duccarlos, can you please post more pics from different angles? i'd like to see it from the front. and where did you get them?

Ducati duals also sells a pretty nice dual headlight with halos!

I've always been really partial to the KTM Duke 690 fairing over the Super Duke.  Think it would look badass and if your bike is already white/black then so much the better!

dated or not, the big single has no power at night!

i'm thinking about going with GS styling and adding 2 PIAA or Hella lamps to the front...

anyone know about the energy consumption of these lamps?

A customer wanted me to build him one of my Ducati-powered DesmoDevil's @2.5 years ago.  Many conversations later in regard to specifications, etc -- he found this particular light and was adamant that it be used on the bike.  I said "no" and promptly refunded his deposit and cancelled the order.  No way would I build him something cool to hang that on!

As for modern headlight alternative?  I'm playing with LED and building something new for one of my personal motorcycles.  Unfortunately until our national antiquated headlights lights are updated, it is technically illegal to use on the street.  I'm sure though within a few years that LED lighting will be the basis for every headlight on the road.  It is really wild what you can do with LED lighting now with the smart circuitry to drive it properly.  The future definitely looks "bright" as it were.
