How/where to mount headlights on an '05 CBR600RR?
Recently bought a wrecked bike to fix up during the winter to keep myself occupied, and am starting on it early. I got it running quite easily, but am having trouble mounting the headlight cluster. It arrived in the mail yesterday, and all the wiring is quite simple and relatively straight-forward, but I have no idea how the hell to mount the entire cluster to the bike itself. I've looked online quite a bit, but only managed to come across tutorials on how to install HID lights. Not a single one had any close-ups of what I actually needed to see. Weak. Below are a few photos of what I've got. The cluster came with (I think) all necessary brackets and screws, unless there's something missing I'm unaware of. If so, please let me know. I downloaded a manual for the bike but the photos in it aren't that great of quality, so I can't tell exactly what I'm looking at. The bike is a 2005 CBR600RR. Any help would be appreciated.
Those two red stars represent two holes which I think is where it would mount up at, but I honestly have no frame of judgment to have an honest opinion on it.
Also, apologies on the crappy quality photos. Digital camera recently broke and I'm forced to use my cell phone camera as an alternative.

those bolt holes are where the fairing stay mounts. Your fairings mount to that, and your headlight mounts to the fairings, not any place on the bike. So if your trying to run the headlights without a fairing, you will have to make your own mount somehow. If you look at the headlight, you will see 4 outward holes, and one center. those are the mounts that mount the headlight to the fairng.
If you but a fairng stay, you may be able to make a mount from that to the headlights, plus you will have a place to mount the gauge cluster since that also mounts to the fairing stay. Or, if your rebuilding the whole bike, just wait until you get the fairings to mount the headlight.
