What do you keep under your seat?

[moditup]

Long time lurker here, finally got my GS a few months ago (2002, super clean, 3900 miles on the clock - now it reads 4500  )

Bone stock, only had valves adjusted for better low RPM gains.

I'm wondering, what do you keep under the seat, if anything?

Tool kit? Emergency supplies?

Took my ride for the first time through the twisties yesterday, almost 100 miles, bike ran great!

I parked next to another 2002 GS500 a few days ago at a climbing gym in the bay area, is that person on here? Hellooooooooo

I keep my insurance info and a tire gauge.  I'd like to find another good sidestand coaster thing to keep under there too.

[Roadstergal]

Toolkit, reg, insurance, when I had a GS500.

I keep the reg and insurance in the hard bags, now, but the OE toolkit still lives in the OE location.

M'boy keeps his tire plug kit under his seat.  I really need to get off of my lazy butt and get one of my own.

[Bluesmudge]

I keep my registration/insurance info in there along with the OEM toolkit and my bike cover. Now I want to keep a tire gauge and side stand coaster in there, good ideas.

[waiho]

I keep losing things when I put it under the seat

[ATLRIDER]

OEM toolkit under the seat.  Registration in my wallet.

Saddle bags: Tire plug kit with CO2 inflator/cartridges, rain pants, Kryptonite cable lock, spare fuses, sidestand coaster, rag, nitrile gloves, sticky note pad/pen, bungee cord.  Sometimes a map.

Edit: Highlighted Saddle Bags.  Definetely not under the seat

OEM Toolkit, 12v outlet. Small water bottle when I go on long rides.

wow, how do you guys fit some much stuff under there?

[Bluesmudge]

Oh I forgot, I also like to keep an extra pair of gloves in there incase it rains 
There is more space in there than you think. Might be different depending on which style rear plastics you have but on my '06 there is a ton of space on the sides too, not just back underneath.
I have to say though, once you stuff a bike cover in there there is really no space left.

I keep my registration and insurance in a plastic bag and a bungee net. That's pretty much all that fits under my seat. I have an R1 tail light and the wiring mess hanging off of that takes up a lot of room... I keep meaning to tear it apart and put it back together in a way that takes less space, but I'm kinda lazy, so it hasn't been done. Also, I keep a tiny U-lock that I use instead of a disc lock locked to my grab bar... Sometimes it flops around if I hit a big bump, but it doesn't seem to be in too much danger of hurting anything...

Under Seat:

Tool Kit w/ tire gauge.

Wallet:
Registration.

I never keep the reg under the seat because it tends to get wet under there from time to time (weather and such).

I've got toolkit under the seat where it usually lives, then I have the owners manual, insurance, registration and $5 emergency gas money in a ziplock bag.

I have a habit of never going over 200miles without filling up so I doubt I'll ever need the cash, but just in case...  Can't hurt to have an extra 80miles or so available if it's needed.

[drincruz]

- oem toolkit (added a small flashlight)
- cargo net --just in case i need to carry anything on the passenger seat
- mechanics gloves --you don't want to use your riding gloves to do anything dirty. plus, you can even use these for riding as well.
- 2 disc locks (i live in brooklyn)

when i'm planning long trips, i've got a tank bag for my ezpass, sunglasses, gps, leatherman, etc.

Ziplock baggie.

I don't keep my reg in my wallet because I have multiple bikes; I like to keep the reg with the bike.  We also have two riders in the house, so keeping regs on bikes means we don't have to go hunting when one of us wants to ride one of the other's bikes.

[LOUiE]

i keep my cheap-ass rain suit under there...its really cheap.

[hotrodstu77]

You do realize that the air you breathe is 78% nitrogen right? Air is made up of 78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen, and about 2% other gasses. Also, unless they pulled a vacuum on the inside of your tire and then injected it full of pure nitrogen there is air in there anyway. Basically the nitrogen in tires thing is rediculous, and you should regularly check your tire pressure anyway, regardless of what's in there.
