It's been discussed a lot of what to purchase to fit a Givi box on the Triumph but nobody as said in all the dozens of thread if the install was a pain or if it was straight forward... Also, to confirm the stock panniers will fit with the FZ726 Givi bracket :|

I want to purchase the FZ726 Givi bracket and install it (I will follow the suggestion to buy longer screw found in another thread) but wondering if I will take numerous hours like my FZ1 to install the monokey rack on the '09 ST 1050 (took me 3 hours on the FZ1, had to cut plastic at a few places)...

So, i'll be joining the Triumph family soon, I should take delivery may 1st! Also, still thinking if I will go with the Triumph heated grips...

I did, its quite straight forward, took me about an hour but i didnt rush. Get the longer bolts before installation!

The longer screw needed are the one that goes on the handle bar (4 of them) I guess and did the installation involved cutting anywhere?

Yep, the four that go into the grab rail, pictured below.
The only element that needed a stanley knife is that plastic cap that goes on the end of the support rail which goes under the bike and bolts to the inside of the footrest also pictured. Offer it up and you'll see what i mean, just needs a bit trimming of to make the bolt easier to screw in. Don't forget the Loctite on all bolts. You on the UK Oracle site too?
