What do you keep under your seat?

[ecpreston]

Ok I want to see some pics of you people that have more than a tool kit and tire gauge. Cause I don't believe you guys have a things like a back pack and a headlight globe theres not that much room under there... So lets see the pics

ditto. I apparently have severely underestimated the room underneath the seat, I'll have to inspect further tonight. A headlight in a box. Seriously. And I never even thought a backpack or jacket would fit.

the back pack and jacket I can seee cause they have those ones that fold up to like a little bigger than a deck of cards but yea i agree I don't see how some of that stuf fitts in there with out falling out to.  My 06 there is big gaps between the rails and the fairings that stuff would fall out of

Title and registration in plastic sandwich bag
tire gauge
spare key to the hard luggage
E-A-R UltraFit Plugs in carrying case <=== The one thing that actually get's used
OEM toolkit
bungee net

[drincruz]

I only keep the OEM toolkit and a rag. I ride with the tire gauge in my jacket, and for longer trips take a small camelback bag with water and a map. Things have fallen out from under the seat and that makes me nervous..

The bag for the OEM toolkit is a piece! Mine was all torn so I've been haphazardly patching it up with masking tape. I didn't realize the tears were a problem until one summer day I was crossing the Williamsburg Bridge in to Manhattan and heard metal clattering behind me. At first I thought it might be one of my stands, looked down, saw they were still there, but wasn't about to go find out what fell! You're guaranteed life-ending injuries if you stop on the NYC bridges. I'm still unsure of what it was - it must've been an extra tool or two that the PO left in there.

I'm amazed that you all keep all this stuff under your seats! Is it good/bad/no difference if you leave the registration and insurance under your seat if the bike gets stolen?

- 2 disc locks (i live in brooklyn)

!!BROOKLYN!! You could use three massive kryptonite chains attached to three different posts and the bike will still be gone in 5 minutes! I think the biggest deterrent here in brooklyn is it being a GS500.

hehehe gaspy, just saw this post now. yea sucks with the type of scum we have lurking around. i am glad that most people don't look to stealing a gs500, but don't wanna take any chances either!

and yea, i do have a kryptonite chain!

one AWESOME item is a helmet bag... not so much for your lid but they make KILLER backpacks and they fold up small as hell 

I have one under my seat. I can put a 12 pack in it 


I also have registration, insurance (in waerproof bag), Tool kit, bunge net and a ball cap 

Most stuff goes in the tank bag 

camera, flash light, gerber tool, extra plugs, tire kit, wallet, phone, water, pens, paper, spare change for meters, kick stand pad and sometimes more depending on where im going

Currently under my seat - disc lock and tire pressure gauge.

Going to be under my seat - Tool kit, tire plug kit, and previously stated things at least. 

That leaves enough room for a drink be it water or soda up to a liter.

  My 06 there is big gaps between the rails and the fairings that stuff would fall out of

Yeah I lost a disc lock through that bloddy gap. Now I have two bits of plastic there the prevent things falling out.

I will take a photo when I can be bothered to get around to it.

[Toogoofy317]

I'm lucky if the registration and a bungee net can fit under there. Actually, I have a cable lock under there now cause was going to go to bike week to chain up the jacket on the bike.

Would love to see some pics too.

I have my toolkit and a combo lock cable that I use to strap my jacket around the bike if need be.  During the colder months I keep a pair of warmer gloves under there.  That's it.

Loool wow, thats a long list for a small box


Well I keep condoms, drugs, cigs, needles, lighter fluid........ok just kidding........a clean cloth, disc lock, toolkit, net

[jt_234]

I really don't see how you fit anything under there.  I put a flashing brake light adapter in and that takes up what space was there.

I keep a small toolkit under my bungee strap on the back--both of which I wouldn't miss if I someone decided they needed them worse than I do.  I put a bike bag on there that I carry with me when I'm away from the bike on longer trips.  I lock my helmet in the underseat helmet clip.  I keep my registration & insurance in the license plate holder, a tire gauge and Kryptonite cable lock in my jacket.

Whats a flashing brake light adapter?? Whats it for....other than to make your light flash I guess.....how do u install this?
