Givi soft pannier frames for 2003 TA650

[jackafrica]

Has anyone out there fitted the above to their TA. I was lucky enough to receive a set of these frames, but appears you have to cut out part of the sidecover for the front mounting point to fit.
Any advice welcome. Thanks

I've got the 'PL' frames for hard luggage, with the fittings removed, I also use them for my soft luggage.

Don't know what your frames are like (couldn't find a pic on the Givi web-site), but I'd have thought that they're not that different.

No way did I have to cut anything to fit these frames !

Thought the whole idea of these 'bolt-ons' was that they could be removed again ?

Yeah me too on the frames, these are the soft type, you're absoluteluy correct no piccy no the Givi site.
Scored then from Eugen in Ireland, can't raise him via either pm or email. Big John picked them up from him when he was in Belfast. subsequently posted to me.
Hence I'm in a sort of dilemma - do I take the Dremel to the sidecover, or is there another way of holding my tongue right ??
The soft frame frames are only a pair of loops. Nuthin' fancy.
If I weren't such a computer dummy I could post the pics, but can them to you for your perusal, edification and enjoyment.
