What do I need to mount the OEM side cases?

Is the stuff in this picture all I need to mount the OEM side cases? I just bought this "kit" from eBay and want to make sure I don't need anything else...

Well... short answer is NO. You also need the side racks that connect the side panniers to the frame... they come out of the hole in the sub-fairing and on to the Grab rail on the back of the bike. As it is, you simply have nothing to attach the panniers to the bike...

Sorry mate.

All you've got there is the fittings that go under the bodywork.

As TornadoSt has said you need the side rails plus it looks like you have not got the brackets to attach front end of the the side rails to that mount above where the rear foot pegs are

I also have a spare set of the side bag fittings, minus the side rails. But I have more of the nuts & bolts, the plastic side rails cost around £23.70 GBP each
Spyda AFAIK you`ll also need to order the 4 bolts & 2 triangular brackets & a couple of small spacers to go behind the 2 lower bolts as well as the rails so figure on approx £32 GBP each side as a ball park cost figure for the missing parts

I will try to get a pic of the set I got and post it

Yes, you do need the top rails, but that is a good start. Your doing just fine!

Damn. Can anyone recommend a source to get those rails? Does anyone have some hanging around that they'd like to sell me?

I've been searching BikeBandit.com for these rails for the last 30 minutes and I can't seem to find them! I was hoping to get an idea of what they cost if I were to buy them new. Does anyone know?

Scratch that. I just got in touch with the seller and he let me know that he still has those grab rails (or whatever they are) and he's going to send them to me.
