Hey guys, i just bought this and was told its a GIVI rack for an FJ. Is it true and if so, which one is it?

I've seen a rack like that for other bikes, but never for an FJ.  I thought the only thing that Givi made for the FJ (and not really when you consider how shitty the fit kit is) was the "one size fits many" wing rack.  I don't even see where that would properly hook up, let alone support a top case.  As it is my E51 topcase has started to cause stress cracks to develop on my wing rack right below where the top case bridge mounts up to the main side frame.  But that's a story for another day.

But looking at the top of the rack in your pics I can say with a high degree of certainty that it isn't a Givi rack, or at least one for the MonoKey top cases, as it does not have the mounting points for a MonoKey topcase.  I'm not as familiar with Mono Lock cases, so it may be for one of them, but it doesn't look like the ones I've seen on various scooters over the last couple of years.  Hopefully I'm wrong, at least with it being compatible with Mono Lock cases...

Looking at the Mono Lock cases further it appears that they have the same type of mounting system that the MonoKey cases do, so methinks you were sold the wrong thing.  

Now, that all being said, it is possible that you could mount a Monokey or monolock platform right on top of this, but you won't know until you find out I guess.
There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing.

That look like the SW Motech rack on my FZ1.  You need an adpater plate to use it.  The adapter plates come in Givi, Cococase, Hepco Becker, Pelican, etc. varieties.  The adpater palte is held to your rack by 3 1/4 turn fasteners.
