Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro - Fitting Givi Pannier Frames

[@fazerstorm-oap]

The quick fit kit is brilliant. I had fixed ones on my old tiger 800, which rusted, as I ride in all weathers. I can take the carriers off my 900 in a couple of minutes now, so only put them on when needed. Had my 900 for 2 years now. Great bike!

[@tigerness5555]

Hi Chris great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍 My old Tiger 800 was a great bike, the 900 is that and so much more. I agree it’s a fabulous bike 🏍😁

[@yellownev]

A nice tidy install - I like the quick release frames, easy on and off for touring.

[@tigerness5555]

Hi Nev Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍 The QD frames are excellent. Who would want to run with the pannier scaffolding attached all the time.

[@yozr6]

Great video and you made the installation look so simple, the bike looks great and ready for an adventure. Enjoy.

Givi make very good luggage systems, I’ve been using them for many years without a single problem. Happy new year to you as well 👍

[@anthonye144]

Did you have any issues fitting the reg plate ? The holes have been used on the OEM mount for that and are now occupied with the givi part

[@RustyRecovery]

Great job. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrewdavis6917]

Very nicely done. I am looking at Givi vs Triumph bags for my Tiger 900. Hi from Texas

[@tigerness5555]

Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍 I really like Givi equipment, used it for many years without any problems. The genuine Triumph panniers and top boxes for the Tiger 900 are actually made by Givi. 😁

[@andrewdavis6917]

@Tiger Ness yep, I kinda hope that the $$ is less for it if I bought Givi

[@tigerness5555]

I recon Givi will be much cheaper than Triumph. Also buying Givi makes it much easier to transfer the cases etc to other bikes. This will be the third bike I’ve used mine on. 😁

[@andrewdavis6917]

The givi bags have been FANTASTIC

[@cdnrider6200]

Nice setup

[@tigerness5555]

Great to hear that you enjoyed my video and hopefully found it useful 👍

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

other vdi's stay to put a learger 47l on the left side to keep balance with the right side overhanging the exhaust; more weight on the right as shown here. . The v47 top box will overhang the side so hope its not interfering the opening of the others ??? trekker boxes only open up from the front side ?

[@tigerness5555]

There’s plenty of options available, it’s simply up to you what configuration you want. What I have works for me.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

how much overhang is there for mounting givi trekker pannier boxes; i see some may not open with a v47 top box on a tiger 900 ?? givi pannier rails use same both sides or one larger than other depending how they fit w/ exhaust. sure i'm not gonig to put a square top box on. Helmets don't fit and little space compared to others.

[@tigerness5555]

Some top boxes won’t work with top opening panniers. The taller square top boxes will take a helmet.

[@KGowans]

Very interesting. I am thinking about Tiger (as opposed to a BMW F900XR) but the nearest Triumph dealership is in Aberdeen (I am in Inverness). What do you think of bike? Are you happy with it?

[@tigerness5555]

Great to hear that you enjoyed the video 👍 I love my Tiger it’s a great bike. The engine with the new T plane crank isn’t as turbine smooth as my old Tiger 800, but the bike is so much better in every other aspect. Take a test ride on both bikes and then decide 🏍️🏍️😁

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

like to have the lights, plates off a wheel bar like the HD sportster. Then its clear for any top box.

[@tigerness5555]

Not quite sure what you mean, my top box fits perfectly and is clear of all my lights.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

nice; panniers gives good protection for the bike even without the boxes on there. ! do the boxes lock on with seperate keylock ?

[@tigerness5555]

The Givi panniers, top box and tool box all use the same key.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

the kit for the box on the left side is an extra piece; i.e. not part of the rail orders ?

[@tigerness5555]

Yes that is correct, the tool box is an extra part. A worthwhile addition in my opinion.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

is there a powered switched plug under the seat ?

[@tigerness5555]

There is an ignition powered plug beside the pillion seat.

[@czm2000]

Great video thank you. What plate are you using for your top case? I noticed that yourt top case is further back. My Givi has mine pushing into the second ride position making it uncomfortable for the passenger. There's no way to adjust it further back so I assume you have a different plate holding your Givi top case mount. Thanks so much.

[@tigerness5555]

The plate mounting is a Givi SR6415 and a Givi M8A Trecker monokey base plate. Hope this helps and you enjoyed my video 👍

[@czm2000]

@@tigerness5555 Awesome, thanks so much!

[@frankmoralesiii6908]

Does GIVI have a set up like that for soft Pannier?

[@tigerness5555]

They do these soft bags that use the Monokey system that will fit onto the pannier frames. www.givi.co.uk/givi-products/soft-bags-for-motorcycles-and-scooters/motorcycle-side-bags/grt720-canyon

[@stevew3012]

This is a very useful and informative video, thank you. I picked up a new 900 Gt Pro last week, also in the best colour just like yours 🙂 I needed to fit an SW Motech luggage system, which also has quick release frames, a similar process to yours and much easier for me once I'd watched your video. My only issue with my system was having to bolt the rear mount through the number plate, not had to do that before with the SW Motech kit on 2 previous bikes. Just curious, how did you end up securing your number plate?

[@tigerness5555]

The same as you, bolt through the number plate / Givi bracket then mudguard. Works well with No issues. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video and found it useful 👍

[@nickfifield1]

Any reason for selecting Givi over competition eg sw motech ?

[@tigerness5555]

I’ve always liked Givi products, good gear at reasonable prices. This is the third bike I’ve put these same panniers onto, just had to purchase the new frames for the 900. Hope you enjoyed my video 🏍️👍

[@sashenden1974]

How did you fit your number plate at the back? Mine was fitted on those same holes as the rear bracket.

[@tigerness5555]

Hi Simon, mine was also fitted on those same holes. The number plate is fitted back in the same place but instead of the normal plastic nuts and bolts, it’s held on with the Givi supplied bolts that also hold the bracket in place. Hope this makes sense 😂

[@sashenden1974]

@@tigerness5555 yeah thanks for the reply I did the same in the end as it the Givi screws don’t affect reading the number plate or make the letters look different.

[@markh210108]

Hi Ian, Did the bolts required come with the racks or the Quick release kit. I have the QR kit and there are no long bolts with it.

[@tigerness5555]

Hi Mark, The long bolts that are required to fit the QD kit come with the pannier rack fitting kit and NOT as you would expect with the QD kit. Fitting instructions below, hope this helps. media.givi.it/XN-Prodotti/istruzioni/PLO6415MK.pdf media.givi.it/XN-Prodotti/istruzioni/01RKIT.pdf

[@40mosher]

Did you go for the same sized panniers?

[@tigerness5555]

The Givi panniers I have, came from my previous Triumph Tiger 800 and Honda NC750X. I just purchased new frames for the Tiger 900. Hope you enjoyed my video 🏍️👍

[@briangibbs5703]

Did you go for the same size panniers on each side of the bike? I’m kitting up an 850 sport and wondering. Have a good season from we here in the western US!

[@tigerness5555]

Hi Brian, yes I have the same sized panniers on each side, Givi Alaska 36 litre. Hope you enjoyed my video 🏍👍

[@stevepringle4496]

Great video! The pannier frames look like they might hold up if the bike is dropped with the panniers on. Any experience with that?

[@tigerness5555]

Great to hear that you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍 The panniers and frames are pretty strong so I’m pretty sure they would hold up the bike if it’s dropped. Thankfully I’ve never dropped this bike, fingers crossed I never will 🤞.

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

if trekker boxes only open from the back side; will they interfere with a differnt noral top box ? i need to get distance from box side to the top plate for the top box.

[@40mosher]

Just out of interest, how did you then mount your number plate?

[@tigerness5555]

The two top screws on the Givi rear bracket go through the number plate as well as the bracket. Hope you enjoyed my video and found it useful 🏍️👍

[@johnlaskey8587]

Hi, I have the tiger 900 gt 2023 model. i have the triumph OEM monokey pannier rails fitted. i am looking at the soft luggage of givi gtr720 canyon. which has the same monekey system. but givi says the bags wont fit the triumph OEM rails. i dont wont to pay for their system like you have fitted on your bike . big question i now, but would it be possible for you to measure the distanced between the top locking fitting and the two locating lugs below .so i can compare to triumph rails. dimensions please. appreciate your time .

[@tigerness5555]

The distance centre to centre of the bottom locating lugs is 226 mm From the centre top locking fitting to the centre of each bottom locating lug is 250 mm I don’t know if there are any differences between the Givi item and the Givi made Triumph item. I suspect the lock barrels will be different, I have 2 keys one for the bike and one for the panniers and top box. Hope this helps

[@slogoinrider]

I have the Triumph branded "Givi" monokey frames mounted on my '23 850 sport. I also have the canyon bags mounted to these frames. After many calls to local Givi guys I just made couple of metal plates that relocated the top locking device, don't quote me now it was 16,000 miles ago about 15/16 of an inch lower and remounted the locking block to this plate. Works like a charm. If you want I can send a pic.

[@johnlaskey8587]

Thanks for this . Yes I did the same lowered the locating latch by 19mm by fabricating 6 mm stainless steel plates. Works a treat

[@lagger1958]

hi where did you get the givi parts from ?

[@tigerness5555]

Hi Michael The panniers and top box I’ve had for years and used on other bikes. The frames etc were obtained from a mixture of Sportsbike Shop, Branded Biker and eBay. I tend to shop around for the best deal at the time. The best service is from Sportsbike Shop in my opinion. Hope this helps and that you’ve enjoyed my video 👍

[@dondle2]

Nice one young fella. !!

[@tigerness5555]

Thank you, great to hear that you enjoyed my video 😁 There’s more to come 👍

[@ed.t.hansen6499]

panniers are short- slim if you wnat to shove in extra helmets; see Shad sh36' but add some width !

[@tigerness5555]

If I need to store my helmet I fit the larger of my two top boxes. The setup I have works perfectly for my bike. Hope you enjoyed my video and found it useful 🏍️👍

[@girbeck3637]

Just checking, do you realise that your side panniers are Alaska and not Dolomiti ones.

[@tigerness5555]

Yes, Trekker Alaska panniers and Dolomiti top box. They work perfectly for me, I’ve had them for years and on multiple bikes and trips. Excellent setup. Hard to miss as it says Alaska on them 🤣 Hope you enjoyed the video 👍

[@girbeck3637]

Certainly did enjoy, looking at a similar set up, just your description intro list threw me out. 39b ? Top box which I now realise is 30 and the Dolomiti pannier which fooled me too. 👍

[@tigerness5555]

Thanks for your reply. I had a look at the video description and your correct, lots of mistakes 🤣 I’ve now corrected them to the Alaska Panniers and 30L Top Box. It’s only been like that for 14 months 😂 Cheers TN
