You need to fabricate some brackets out of steel strip to mimic the original angle and location. My buddy did this to mount a Hayabusa headlamp (gift from me) onto is turbo yamaha street fighter project. He used some stainless steel straps and fab'd up mounts to attach it to his forks between the triple clamps. You'll need four small bolts and Nylon locknuts to secure the four mounting tabs. It should not take much time just creative use of a vise and a drill.
You could mount it onto the forks or use the locating pegs on it to position it onto the fairing stay bracket and then fab some bracing to use the frame's fairing stay bracket's mounting point.
