Bike's storage compartments

Post by SilverFox »

Just curious what people store in their underseat (or other) storage compartments?

In my ZR600 I have.....
Front left hand (tiny) compartment: tyre gauge, small torch, small multi-tool knife all in a small padded pouch. I've also printed a business card size info sheet with my insurance details, emergency phone numbers and accident info for the paramedics.

Underseat: cable ties, tie down strechy straps, chain & padlock and light weight, fluro, wet weather gear. The fluro rain gear makes me look like a novelty condom but in the wet I rather be dry & seen then a fashion statement.

I still have room for more under the seat. Does anyone carry any spares or other usefull stuff (tyre inflators, first aid kit, etc )?

Hand towel for wiping the bike down in the morning...
Bike lock...
Drill Chuck key... because i used it to fit the new indicators, and it has decided that it likes to live in the back of my bike.. (Yes I'm lazy)

I think the tool kit is sitting in my tool box in my garage....


So i'm prepared :) So long as I only need to park the bike and lock it, or if it rains and my seat gets wet I can wipe it down.. Anything else and I'm farked.. ROFL

Nothing. My cowl is too hard to get on and off and there is about enough room for a chux or something and thats about it.

doh, i should be more like you SilverFox, but alas, this is one of those things that I plan to do "one day"..... the insurance details card/emergency numbers thingy sound like a good idea.
at the moment, I only have wet weather gear (makes for nice padding in there as well) and the little factory tool-roll, and a parking lock that i never use. and that is seriously crowded in there (only have under the seat, but waay more user friendly than the old cbr)

Wallet, sunglasses, haircomb, keys, mobile, spare visor (when I remember), and surgical gloves (to stick over the leather ones in case it rains - this constitutes cheap wet-weather gear for people with credit card debts.....)

generally, the tl has a good storage space (due to the rear cowl) I just chuck everything, smokes, wallet, phone etc) into my helmet bag tie it up and chuck it in the back.

I found it in a car park and threw it in for a joke with my mates... (Just in case we met an asian hooker - pop) and it's been in there ever since...

Nothing in any compartments - stuff rattles.
In the bag I have sunnies, hat, KSRC stickers, chain lube, ocky straps, gaffer tape, wet gear, disc lock, puncture kit, large adjustable spanner for rear axle nut, rag, and home-grown tool kit with cable-ties, split-pins, pressure gauge, spanners, drivers, pliers and torch.
