The Givi Wingrack and Wingrack2 are the go to racks for mounting hard bags. Givi is no longer making the Wingrack2 and we all know the Y204 mount kit was discontinued years ago.

Available on eBay is 2 complete Hepco & Becker racks. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153411121261

I personally used a Hepco rack and bags on my 89 and absolutely loved them. I had the rack installed for about 5 years. Many thousands of miles heavily loaded and never had any issues with stress cracks or weld failures. In the last photo you can see the rack. They come Black. I had mine powder coated Silver.

how many nights can you travel with those bags fully loaded for 1 or 2... can you go your 6 months?

and why does it say fj1300? on 2 different bikes?

I'd guess both had 1300 engines, Fred has been suffering from " Moditis" for a number of years   :biggrin:

Randy gave a link to a great adventure riding with the hard bags..

As for the FJ1300 and what looks like 2 bikes. I only had One  FJ1300, (1297cc big bore kit). The photo of the solid White with the Red/Black and Silver graphics is a Spare set of body work that I procured to save wear and tear on the almost pristine OEM 1989 White/Silver body work. Unfortunately the OEM bodywork was on the bike when it was stolen.
