Default Connections on steel braided oil lines

I've seen a couple topics on steel braided oil lines. However they didn't show how they would connect to the oil tank. Since there is no threads on it would I just use hose clamps? I also saw a kit on J&P, but I'm not sure the picture shown was of that particular application. If it matters my bike is a '98 XL883.
