Whats under ya saddle - Paul Kent - 26-01-14

So its my first bike with under seat storage (bar the TRX) and I'm wondering what you fine people carry in yours. I'll carry my disc lock and probably a bottle of water.
I'd like to hear your ideas / suggestions  8)

I lie, air compressor for the tyres!

Re: Whats under ya saddle - ChristoT - 26-01-14

For those without Stiggy's patent bazooka, I had the Yam toolkit, assorted bungees & cargo net, and a puncture repair kit. I bought a little compressor off ebay, but it didn't work off my 12V.

Spare clutch and brake levers

Why so

Ok incase you crash yeh, I would think in an off they are still workable or in such an off that they were not then that would be the least of your worries
Or should I get some myself

A habit I got into from trail riding.  Smile

I had my bike knocked over years ago and the fall broke the brake lever.  :'( It  was a pain in the arse riding with it broken until I could get a replacement.

They take up so little space and it was a good a place as any to keep them. Better than getting lost in the garage  :lol


Re: Whats under ya saddle - fazersharp - 27-01-14

I see - just the clutch would do spose

Re: Whats under ya saddle - spencer_foxwell - 27-01-14

I've got a can of ACF-50 and a rag in a plastic bag

Re: Whats under ya saddle - Arfa - 27-01-14

Yam, tool kit, puncture repair kit, compressed air, mini can of WD40, rolled up waterproof over trousers, wind up torch, ear plug.

Re: Whats under ya saddle - stevierst - 27-01-14

I got nothing under my FZ1 seat apart from the Two Brothers tuning box. That's because there's no room for anything else! :'(
That's what my tailbag is for! (waterproof trousers, puncture kit, visor cleaning kit, small get you home repair kit, pen, large plastic bag, cargo net).

Thundercat's a different story, there's absolutely nothing in there. If I break down/puncture on the way to work, I just phone recovery!!
