I have a 99 tiger and I am looking for racks to attach panniers too. I would like to use pelican or some solid after market boxes but I am having issues finding any. Any one know of any options?
The only ones that I know are still produced are Touratech, they are listed for 955, but I cant see any reason why they wont fit the 885

Is The 99 900 the same as a 955I I called happy trails and the said they don't know if it will fit.
This is starting to get frustrating :?
the passenger pegs, rear frame / seat area are the same. It's different up front with the motor when you're trying to fit crash bars.
for rear rack stuff - you should be fine (I have owned both - never saw a difference in that area of the bike).
I bought a set of touratech panniers and mounts that came off an 885i Girly,they went straight on my 955i,and im very happy with them.
I use SW-MOTECH QUICK-LOCK Side Carriers.
What I like is that they are removable.
You can bolt the alu-cases directly to the racks and take the case and rack off in one piece.
One of the quick locks can be exchanged to one with a key lock.
Givi also make a frame, its what I have on my 02 Girly (although mine are now modded to take my alpos boxes :P )
