Nothing crazy:
-I used all stock hardware accept for the clamp its self - using the swivel post through the clamp as the connection point (it clears the fork tube, and is short enough to pull the signal in tight to the clamp)
-Throw a washer between the signal and the clamp - this will allow you to lock them down, yet prevents the clamp from forcing the lens angle.
-lock in the the forward hardware on the clamp first. there will be a small gap - might as well hide it behind the tubes.
-Use thread locker...

Pretty basic - but may save you some time on your install, and from finding your signals dangling by their wiring, or just pointed at the ground...
