'Cut' bike to add factory accessories?

I was going to add factory saddlebags and rear rack to my Honda NC700X; I even priced the brackets at the dealership today. But when researching the installation a few minutes ago I found that I would have to cut and remove some of the plastic in the fender area to install the brackets. It seems odd that factory accessories would require me to cut into my bike. Now I will look at Givi and other brands, I am not going to cut my new bike.
