Christopher I mounted a Nitto Front on an Atlantis without any eyelet braze-ons and used it for touring a couple of seasons. I used the p-clamps and mounted the fender to the rack using some spacers. It worked out fine. You'll likely need to use the clamps on the Hilsen since, as I recall the braze on eyelets aren't in the right place. You could try these:* * * * http://tinyurl.com/k4k8rgh* *"Tubus mid-fork eyelets." * * They look good and are stable attachments, but they might be too far back to hook the rack to. I recall that the rack mount slot doesn't quite match up with the fork and still allow a level rack top. I think an overall better solution for the Hilsen - sale be damned - is a Mark's rack paired with a Tubus Nova rack. It's a practical approach that works great on my Long Haul Trucker, although I actually use a Tubus Duo for the lower rack. Most of the time, I just use my rear rack and the small front. I really like the looks of the Nitto large, but I never liked the unnecessary bulk. In my opinion, the small rack and the tubus are much more stable under load.
