1986 FJ1200

[richyzfr1000]

Would anyone happen to know where I could find a hard bag / luggage setup for a 1986 FJ1200?

I have seen them on other bikes but cant seem to find any on line.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I had a FJ1200. I've never seen or heard of any hard cases, but here some soft cases

water proof luggage

Cool! Retro sport touring! Gotta love it.

Good luck finding/fitting/color-matching hard bags. Not to be negative on a first time poster, but I doubt much of anything was available for that bike at that time.

Of course, with a little ingenuity, some paint work and a function over form mentality, just about any salvaged hardbags could be made to fit and function and look halfway decent.

Soft luggage was the order of the day back then. I had period correct Vetter Bagmans on my '84 FJ1100.

Well GIVI lists mounting kits for 87-99 FJ1200's.

Don't know if there's any difference for FJ1100's or pre 87 and 87-99.

An old good friend of mine has an FJ - not sure what year, but well past the 86. He has GIVI bags on his - sidebags and topbox. Below are some pictures of his FJ with the GIVI hardbag mounting framework.

Rich, I might just have this for you, friend of mine was selling a Givi hardbag setup for a '86 FJ a few month's ago.

Here's my '86...

I have used soft bags on my '86 FJR for years with good success, although I can understand why you would want hard bags. It wasn't until I got my '04 FJR that I realized the advantages of well designed hard bags.

There are some pictures of my '86 FJ loaded up from some past tours on my website at: https://www.robertmichaud.com/html/motorcycling.html if you care to take a look.

Also, while we are sharing, here's a shot of my two FJ®'s:

Good luck!

Yup,,What them guys said I put a ton of miles(including a 10,000 mile 2-up 3 week cross country trip) on my 89 with GIVI bags and a top case..The Givi stuff holds up great.I dropped the bike a couple of times (dirt roads)and nothing broke.
