'91 FJ1200 Hepco Becker complete mount questions

Hello everyone,
I've recently gotten myself a FJ1200 from '91, and looking into finding a complete mounting system for it, side-cases and top-box. After some research it seems like the Hepco Becker system is the only available option nowadays (or is it?). I'm wondering whether any of you have some experience with this set, and specifically, how it is with the indicators? Do you need to get new ones, or you can you just move the original ones?

This one: https://www.hepco-shop.de/meinbike/yamaha/fj-1200-fj-1200-a-1991/komplett-traeger-schwarz.html

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

The Hepco Becker luggage Rack and bags work very well on the FJ. The turn signals are not an issue. Remove the rubber stalks anf the mounting brackets from the frame. The stalks mount directly to the Hepco frame and sit behind each bag.

That looks good, thanks. I also assume that when you purchase the actual cases and box, the applicable fastening brackets are included? Also, the back-rest you have mounted, is it attached to the H+B rack?

The Frame should come with everything that you need to attach to the FJ.

The bags are a universal fit and slide on and latch to the frame.

The trunk I have is a GIVI knock off, mounted with a universal base plate to the Hepco tail rack.

The back rest is actually attached to the Corbin Gunfighter and Lady seat.
