there are of course cheaper options, i have a givi rack for my 99 fzs which i got for a snip at 10 quid from a mate at work, shopped around for boxes for it and well my budget was tight so original givi was out of range for me, managed find a mono key box that fits straight onto the rack with no problems,its secure and cant be taken off without the key.
so the options are there,unless money is no object then givi all the way but .....still a shopping trip on the inter web works well for us less financially endowed lol
You say you've got the FZ6 04-06 which is the same one I have and I've got Givi kit too.
First and most important question is: do you just want a top box or will you want panniers too? The reason being that, due to the underseat pipes, you need a special rack which bolts onto the sides of the exhaust to put the panniers on and mounting that requires disassembling part of the back of the bike to get it in place. (You may also need to get some extra wiring and connectors to move the indicators!)
My 2005 FZ6 underseat exhaust, has a pair of Scorpion cans sticking out the rear, I bought a Givi topbox mount from evilbay, the brackets go around the cans and I had to make new ones as the original ones were too small, they would have fitted round the original cans no problems though, IMHO I would fit this kit if you are fitting a 46 litre topbox as it does not put strain on the rear grabrails, if you go the Givi route there are two differant kinds of fitting (monokey or monolock) you just need to but a differant top plate to fit one or the other, I could post pictures for you if you are interested.
