It doesn't look like I do have any photos, but that's easily corrected.

In the meantime, let me describe how it works with Honjos, or any similar 
aluminum stayed fender, held with R-clips to your fork tip:

Step 1.  remove the R-clips entirely.  Put them in your parts drawer
Step 2.  Bolt the PDW kit piece into the fork tip eyelet where the R-clip 
had been
Step 3.  line up your aluminum stay next to the PDW kit and mark where you 
need to cut it off
Step 4.  Remove the stay entirely
Step 5.  Cut the stay at your mark
Step 6.  Re-install the stay, sliding the 5mm Aluminum stay into the PDW 
kit, kind of trombone-style
Step 7.  tighten everything up, including the tiny setscrews on the metal 
part of the PDW kit

I'll post flickr pictures late tonight (unless I forget)
