Not much to it with the PB SpeedEz - they provide rubber thingies to secure the struts to the fork and the top of the fender to the fork crown through some holes drilled in the top of the fender.

In my case, I used tie straps instead of their rubber thingies for the struts (you can see them on the rear chain stays for the rear fender), and was able to mount the plastic crown mount from an old Cascadia rear fender on the top and screw it into the hole in the fork crown, which made it a little more secure than using tie straps. Seriously, with the SpeedEz, mounting them is pretty much a no-brainer.
