Default Front fender rail on 2005 Heritage?

Thinking about adding the front rail. Was wondering how the front tab attaches to the front tip of the fender, since it is likely that there is no hole there (under the front fender lens). So, anyone know what is necessary to attach this? Also would like to know if Heritage owners like the look of the fender rail once attached. Might as well also ask if there is any trick to mounting the rest of the rail on the other two fender attachment points. Thanks, Brad

piece of cake. the instructions are thorough and no special tools needed. on my Deluxe the is no hole for the front tab. It really is not necessary (the tab) as the 4 rear mounting holes make it impossible for the rail to move.

aggro_jo said is correct it attaches easy. Theres 4 bolts for the fender attachment points. The front tab attaches under the fender. when you take of the cover on the running light on the front of the fender theres screw there. I belive it came with a longer screw but thats were you would attach it.
