If those 2 flat pieces were thicker, you could just tap & thread those holes for an easy bolt-in mount, but they don't look thick enough to me.
I was thinking the SAME thing. It's unfortunate that there arent more mount points on this bike that isnt covered by fairings (even though fairings are pretty). I was actually thinking maybe a slide latch that you can use for easy on and off. Like a bar that slides under those 2 flat pieces and then you screw them tight. Ok time to stop rambling. Wish there was an easier way to project the image in my head and just poof! make it real.
