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.

I have this exact system on my `90 FJ. It fits my Givi E45 Monokey boxes.

The rack set is *NOT* complete and is missing some significant parts; namely the top rack and some assorted hardware.

It will not work on a later bike (`91-9?) without modification.

Personally, I feel that the price is too high for an incomplete system. Depends on just how bad you want one, though!

Fred, it came with the bike unattached and didn't realize what I had until joining a few FJ forums.  It's flow well with the lines etc... but checking oil level is a bugger.  This is a shot of the right side, see that little hole?

Well I ended up ordering a case from JC Whitny because it was a deal too good to pass up.

I received a JCW top case the other day and mounted it on a GIVI Monokey plate with a small bit of modification. Works good, nice and tight fit. The construction of the case is a lot better than I was expecting. It will serve well for top luggage box and I certainly will not feel bad if it gets scuffed up a bit in use for the price. The mounting plate they send with the box is lightly constructed (thin) but truthfully it is designed to mount on top of an existing rigid luggage rack and in that application would work fine.
I ordered a couple of 50mm Yamaha reflective gell badges from "fleabay" to replace the top iron cross badge and the rear red reflector. I am looking into replacing the rear reflector with a small led light as another option... There is some orange trim going around the front of the case. Not as ugly as I thought but I will probably get some plastic rated paint and paint it black.  I paid 41.80 dollars delivered and spent another 10.00 bucks to trim it in a bit.
Now for some saddle bags and warm weather......

Just as well... if your bike spends any time at all in the sun, it'd turn pink anyway.          DAMHIKIJKOK

Did I hear someone say "pink"?

I thought about the "pink" deal but didn't want to stir up the pink crowd Now you throwing pink meat in the water....
