I've had trouble finding a top box to house my cello, i've had no luck whatsoever so far..... :rolleyes :lol
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
First off, you'll need the Monokey rack kit; these are bike specific (IIRC the rack for the FZ6 is around £100, I should think the FZS will be similar in price).
You'll need a box to match it - the bigger you go, the dearer they tend to be; make sure you have one big enough for what your carrying (Mine is 45 litre). Beware also, that volume isn't the only factor - awkward shaped luggage can be a ball-ache.
FWIW, I paid £35 fitting charge for mine from the dealer I bought the bike from - for that kind of money it's probably as well to let someone else scrape their knuckles fitting it.
have you thought of getting a normal rennatech(or however its spelt!) rack and getting a standard topbox,you could look at your local shops for topbox to see if they are big enough for what your putting inside,iv just done similar on my fzs6 but only small box that hold helmet and waterproofs
Givi rack fitting for Fazers is straight forward until you get to the 04's with the underseat exhausts, then it gets a bit more complicated. Note that they do two different types of plates - monorack and monokey. Make sure you get the monokey plate as this is the one for the larger boxes. The boxes themselves go up to 55litre (E55). I've just bought one of these as my last one perished in a crash :\ and the cheapest price I could find was £195 delivered.

Givi monorack:

You can also get a Kappa. Similar quality to Givi, but quite cheaper. I'm happy with my Kappa 50 litre topcase. It is on a Givi rack (they are 100% compatible), the rack came with the bike (2nd hand).

Plastic is good. It can stand bumpy roads, fast riding, heavy load. Only problem with Kappa is a bit less quality finish - but I'm happy with mine. Of course, if you can afford a Givi...
Both are ridiculous amounts of money for plastic containers, but I can't make one myself so...
Like other foccers said: get a monoKEY system, it is better and all the big boxes are monokey.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
