No....you will not have any of the shiny metal stuff. No nuts or washers on your stock bike, and no adjustments. That photo is from my bike and shows the mount I had to build to mount the GT380/550 tank....that is the only photo I have of the tank mounts, and yours will use the same rubber bumpers but will not have the same metal attachments.
The stock mounts and rubber pads fit snugly, and don't allow very much movement. When mounting the tank the rubber offers some resistance and you have to push a bit to slide tank mounts over the rubber bumpers.
Went and found a photo....yours will look like this:
