The left front mount attaches to the kick stand bracket that bolts to the front mount forging. The right one bolts to the rear brake pedal mount bracket that bolts to the engine mount forging.

If you added a front crash bar the lower mounts would attach to the front board mount stud.

Thanks that’s exactly what I needed to know.
I’m going to be running a “juice” back brake and those same foot boards with no crash bar so I need to buy the brake
bracket and kickstand bracket.
You and John Z have been so helpful educating me, I really appreciate it.
Pinion oiling modification and cam end play questions coming, stay tuned...

I found this repop brake mount online it looks like what I think I need, do you think that stock master cylinder is close enough to
the correct size for a two piston disc caliper ? Sacrilege I know.

I dont think you'll find its ideal, you'll get too much travel in the pedal is my guess.
