removing the Givi sidebox carriers

After the bike lived outdoors for 10 years the bolts of the FiveStars carrier for Givi boxes suffered corosion. Some broke. One could not be removed at all. So I had to remove the left side as one piece.

cast iron support for passenger footrest, the lower part must have broken off a long time ago. I never noticed that. This will probably be costly to replace.
