Racks
- Happy Trail manufactures strong luggage mounting hardware and aluminum panniers. Their mounting kits are also usable with GIVI and Pelican cases.
- GIVI manufactures topcase adapters which replace the plate on the Transalp's handy rear carrier. They also produce crashbars.
- The E200 Monorack plate for *Monokey* topcases is available from Midwest Cycle Supply, AZ Motorsports, and Happy Trail. The E200 is for 1988-1996 applications. Note that the E211 may also be listed, but is for 1997-1998 applications.
Cases
Crashbars
- The TN363 crash bars are available from AZ Motorsports and Happy Trail. Mounting these to a US-spec Transalp requires longer bolts across the front and minor trimming of the bike's plastic radiator guard.

- Modifications that are possible.
