    I don't have the pictures handy, but I'll try to take some and post them in the next 24 hours.
    The bottom mount bolts to the front down tubes, There are two bosses welded into the frame near the top. Be sure to use SHORT bolts for this location. 25mm is MAX you want, unless you have other items bolted in the same place.(Bottom mount is an "H" shape) The top bracket looks like a "U", with a center "leg" that has a mount point with two holes. This bolts to the front of the steering head, again with short bolts. There should be a third mount that will clamp on the top mount, and reaches down in front to bolt onto the front of the fairing. As my mount is "modified", I don't have this part to show you anymore.
    You will have to bolt the top mount TIGHTLY too the frame, and then put the bottom mount on with the bolts loose. You then install the fairing, put in the four mount bolts that hold the flat part of the fairing between the two mounts, and tighten them BEFORE you tighten the lower frame mount bolts. This will pull the lower mount up into the upper mount. You then need to bolt in the front mount, and tighten the adjusting screw for it.

      I just looked at the fairing you got. It's NOT the model I thought it was, so the information from my previous post is NOT valid! I have NOT worked on a bike with that type of fairing, so I'm not going to be much help.
