I just looked on Ecklers, looks like all the pics they have are a 4 bolt on the firewall side and 2 olt on the MC side, but those could be generic pics

Default Retrofitting?

If you are looking to retrofit your non-power system, the 4 bolt booster (Delco or Bendix) will fit. You will need to drill the additional 2 holes and do a little clearance filing, just as they did at the factory except your job will be a PITA because the dash is in the way.

The two studs that the M/C bolts to are held in place with tabs on the pedal support assembly. You will have to bend the tabs, remove those bolts then slide the booster into place and secure the booster studs with nuts and lock washers. Easy when everything is off, incredibly difficult with the dash in place, but doable.
