So with the exposed mounting points it wouldn't be too incredibly hard to make something to mount a GIVI frame (I put one of the reflectors in on each side from the panniers for now)
I don't know, I made sure to take everything apart carefully so it can all go back together with new pannier pieces, I don't know if I like it like this plus some/a lot of cleanup and making of pieces to cover odd gaps or if I want to put it all back together or what. I like panniers regardless of whether they're OEM or not so one way or another I'm going to end up with some.
