Mounting hard-panniers to a Monster?

Hey guys,

I picked up a pair of Non Fango TTL panniers for my '99 Monster 600 off ebay. However although the booklet that came with them suggests that they can be fitted to pre-'00 monsters, I can't for the life of me figure out an obvious way to mount them to the bike. Is anyone familiar with mounting this sort of hard luggage to a Monster? How is it done?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Here's a picture of the panniers and mounting accessories I'm dealing with:

Has no one here dealt with mounting hard-panniers on monsters before?  :-\

how about scanning up the instructions and maybe we can help? Cant see much from the picture shown, unless you  take a top pic of everything.

Mounting brackets (to which the cases latch) must be bolted to the frame.  Usually, such brackets are bike-specific, so unless that's a Monster-specific set, you'll have to fabricate brackets.
'05 S4R (>47k mi); '04 Bandit 1200 (>92k mi; sold); '02 Bandit 1200 (>11k mi); '97 Bandit 1200 (2k mi); '13 FJR1300 (1k mi); IBA #28454 "45"

well i hope you havent chopped the tail.
cos i;m abot 90% sure that at least one of the mounting brackets attacked to the frame via the 4 or 3  tea tray  bolts.


Thta will be why there are up to 99 and after 99 ones.
4 bolts on the earlie ones and 3 on the later ones.
