through the fork front brake bridge hole. look for a rack that connects with a single "L" bracket not the ones with two connecting arms. i updated the existing bolt and nut that connected the front fender with a slightly longer one. the front fender connector is fed on from the rear of the fork and the rack L bracket from the front. i used an extra nut to space out the L bracket to clear the bottom headset cup. i drilled one additional hole into the L bracket so there would be two bolts connecting the rack to the L bracket. that's it.
