  Is that a Top Box that you are looking for ,,if so ,, before buying any Top Box I would check out the way the Box  Locks and Latches up.
I have a Givi Top Box fitted to one of my bikes,,its very well made BUT every time you need to open it ,you have to take the Key out of the Bike and insert the Key  into the Givi Box and then turn the Key to open it,, NOT GOOD,
This is a real bad idea,,
You need to be able to open and close it with out the Key
and just use the Key to Lock it if needed,
I have a Shad 33 liter Top Box on my other Bike and its Great, It opens and closes with out a Key ,
and is very well made,,

Phil, I have a top box with the same silly arrangement. However I've discovered that the aerodynamics of it are such that even when unlocked, it stays shut (up to 200kph anyway) It will occasionally open a bit in a strong side wind but other than that it stays closed.

Worth a try.

I can order you a wing rack from Givi, but they not longer offer the mounting kit for the FJ. They pop up on eBay once in a blue moon, but no chance from Givi.

I have the top mount plate and FJ mounting kit in stock.
86-96 FJ1200 Monorack Mounting Kit
Givi Monokey Mounting Plate

I can also order any Monokey box for the top plate, but there are too many options to keep them on the shelf.

Hepco and Becker currently offer a full rack system for side bags and top box.


In this photo you can see the frame for the side bags. The frame comes black. I had mine powder coated.

You can get the mounting kit (in stainless steel) from the FJ Club in England.  I have one and it fits good.

Yep, the racks are the same... it's the mounting hardware that differs.

I think the FJ owners club no longer offers the GIVI FJ mounting kit as a stand alone part. It appears that if you order the WingRack from the club that you can then order the FJ mounting kit.

Okay, so it's the Y204 Givi mounting kit that you want, then.
