The problem with FZS600's is the shape of the back end.Most of the racks available are the sports type
which will only sit on half of the carrier,therefore you would need to make a strong bracket to secure a
topbox.
I tend to use throwovers as they are less hassle,and a sports rack (Yamaha) with a small tail pack.
 
KAPPA and GIVI make racks and side rails but they are extremely expensive  - £280 plus.Check out the bay,or "for sales".You may be lucky!.

I[size=78%]v'e got an SW Motech alu rack on my Fazer, looks smarter and discrete (imo) than the tubular givi ones. Versatile design makes it easy to stick any sort of blase plate on it. Holds up well with a top box even on the motorways. Only criticism is that it mounted where the pillion handlebar bar is by 4 stainless steel mounting coloumns that can eventually crack away at the fairing is overloaed or riding consistently on uneven surfaced due to the shock. Overall happy with it, been told it looks like a spoiler without the top.[/size]
