2007 OEM side carriers

Just wondering - what extra bracketry is required to fit the OEM saddlebags (2007). Does it change the look of the bike much when they're off?

 

Here are some pics with the bracket system and no bags on.





Having the ability to just whip your bags on and off is amazing!

 

Parts in bracket kit include:
- Left and right bag carriers
- Heavy duty replacement bracket for behind the rear fender
- Assortment of heavy duty and longer replacement bolts as well as several new bolts
- Instructions, which are minimal

I will try to find the instruction sheet and post

 

Can you guys buy the bracket kit seperately over there, as in not with the bags?

 

I did a quick search of our local honda dealer's online catalog (it's 9:45 PM here and everyone is closed) and they only list the bracket WITH the bags. I am guessing that the dealer can special order just the bracket.

 

I"m pretty sure I saw a 'replacement bracket set' for the hardbags on one of the honda parts sites, said something like 'order only as a replacement', but now I can't find the site
