Well to be honest,  The only hard bags I know of for the FJ's are either Givi, but I dont think the wing racks are avalable for the FJ anymore or Hepco Becker hard bags from germany. As far as I know they still make a rack for the FJ as well. There a few soft bags that you can throw over the seat if thats what your looking for. Most of the soft bags are not bike specific IIRC.  I have the Hepco and Becker bags on my 91 , they are good quality and ride well. Hope this helps....

As Eric said, the wing rack is hard to find, but I like the way Givis look on the FJ.

Andrew,
I went with the Givi Wingrack-2, then added the side bags, and top case.
I believe you can buy the Wingrack new still, but as others have said, the mounting kit for the FJ has been discontinued, and is no longer available new........... :unknown:
I searched Ebay for awhile, and found a seller that had a used Wingrack AND the mounting kit for the FJ together!(was a very lucky find indeed) :yahoo:
I then purchased the side bags new, and the top case slightly used.........
If you want to go this route, and have some time, just keep searching and a mounting kit will eventually come up for sale.
