I finally found a site that shows instructions for installing the saddlebag brackets and the other accessories for the Honda NC700 series motorcycles. After looking at that, I might cut my motorcycle after all to install brackets and saddlebags. It does look pretty involved, but I would be able to do it if I took my time. Here is the site if anyone is interested (I am the only one on this forum with an NC700X as far as I know).
