Guys, apologies for the noob questions here, I just got my '99 FZS600...
I want to eventually mount a full set of panniers with a top box, HOWEVER I already have a top box and plate from my 125 but obviously no back tray (or w/e it's called lol) to fit it to. I would LIKE to get the top box mounted first. Is there a way to do this or is it more economical to get the full set-up (mounting tray and pannier mounts) all in a oner? Even though I haven't figured out what set up to get it looks like just getting the mountings for the top box will cost in the region of £80, while a full luggage set up with top box plate (N141 Wingrack) will be £116 (plus a 'universal fitting kit' of another £58!!) And that's before I find actual panniers or see if my current top box and plate will fit on!!
Am I barking up the wrong tree here, or is this really the kind of costs I'm looking at for these layouts? I guess I might be prepared to go soft for the panniers but I really want to keep my hard top box - at the very least it allows me to stow my helmet while I'm shopping for beers!
Cheers guys
