He's right. Givi makes brackets for both top and side case in I think from another thread but it costs around $425 shipped from overseas just for the brackets.

I probably spent $200 for the side cases, $26 on the quicklock mechanism, and around another $30-$40 on aluminum and bolts. The kicker is I spent probably around 3 full days working on it. Mainly because of measurements and drilling and cutting the metal. I dont have very metal tools so I used hacksaws and handheld drills with hand files the whole time.
