FJ1200 luggage racks

Ran across these if anyone has any interest in them. They indicate that they are for GIVI bags. I am just passing the info. I have no ties or involvement with the seller or product.

Not sure how those are intended to work, but I see no tab to engage a Givi latch plate, nor the tabs to engage the bottom of the bags. Some assembly/additional parts are probably necessary to make those work, IMO.

Most likely that's why they are on fleabay, I am not that knowlegable on the GIVI saddle bag mounting systems. The price seem high to me for old mounts but if someone was in need of them it might be of value. I do have A KAPPA (GIVI) rear rack on my bike. Had a hard time locating that. The factory in Italy said my chances of locating one in the U.S. for an FJ was slim to none. I found one in Canada after a long search. Next I will be trolling for a top box of some sort to mount on it. Then some bags to adapt. Got a few trips planned for next summer.

I fit a similar set from a ZZR. Looks like the ebay set comes with instructions but does need more than pictured.

JC Whitney still carries these cheap-ass Givi knock-offs. I've been using one for quite some time (without the cheesy Iron Cross sticker). With slight modification, mine securely fit right onto my Givi rack.

*note* only the large style shares the same Givi mounting style, not the medium. I also removed the iron-cross but replaced them with Gel Yamaha tuning forks decals. They've held up well, which includes a tip over when the bike rolled forward after I parked on a hill w/o setting the bike in gear.

Large one is on sale so its about $20 less than the medium.

John,

Do you have the Givi Monokey Wingrack? If so, do these just slide right on or are there other mods to make them fit?

Thanks,

CraigO

They are made by Givi, but I don't think they are referred to as a wing-rack. I purchase them intending to have to modify them, but really didn't have to very much. I had to bend the metal tube which goes to the foot peg a tad. Also there is a metal tube behind the license plate connecting the two sides, I had to shorten it by about 1 inch. Then drilled and tapped the aluminum grab bar for the top mount. I have had them on for several year and they work well. The top case plate is bolted onto an FJ specific rear rack. I used FZ1 turn signals after shortening the stems on them.

I didn't care for the design of the Hepco & Becker top box, plus I could not locate one even if I wanted one. I found this cheap top box on Ebay for $65.00 w/free shipping. It mounts easily to the Hepco rear rack. I don'y believe that is would work on the solid Givi or Krauser rear racks. I installed LED strips where the center reflector is. Works great as a high running light.

TNX ! I ordered the large one for 40.85 delivered.. Hard to beat the price ! I plan on only using it for longer trips not for daily use. Now I will try to pick up a small "scooter" top box for around town. Probably have to adapt the box a bit. I Think that my top plate is a Monokey. To confuse things GIVI has a Monokey and a Monolock top plates. Adapt and overcome....

The first one of them I had (trashed it in a major way) fit right on, but it rattled a lot.

The one I currently have had much smaller slots for the tabs at the front of the top plate. About 10 minutes of work with a X-Acto knife was all that was required for a very nice fit.
