Following a thread on the SV website HERE I want to know what people carry under there pillion seat, tools? food? waterproofs?

I got a tool bag from a cycle shop (cost £5 and fits perfectly under the seat, very similar to a shower bag but smaller) and carry tools for running repairs, anything else, i got RAC membership

I also carry a foil blanket, face mask for mouth to mouth, bulb and fuse kit, cargo net, disc lock, ear plugs, puck and phone charger for a cig lighter i installed. Next on my list is spare levers and a puncture repair kit

I'm going to get a seat cowl so i can max the space under my seat to get a waterproof over suit in too, so as not to get caught in a summer shower

Fcuk me

Thats practically doubled the weight of your bike.

I carry nothing, only sometimes do I even take a puncture repair kit.

The tool kit, some spare allen keys and a rag (Simon told me to have the rag and it's very handy)

my tax disc, a rag (for polishing emergencies or getting flies off your visor), and an electronic tire pressure gauge pen thingmy.

I always take the standard toolkit out from under the seat, then invariably forget to put them back when I sell the bike...I now have 4 suzuki underseat toolkits hanging around my shed.

Disc lock, rag, mini toolkit and thats all.

Tried to wedge a waterproof suit under it, but failed miserably.

I like the idea of keeping a few bits of 1st aid equipment as well.

Just the Suzuki Official Toolkit.

Kawasaki tool kit in rear compartment, with loads of room to spare.

In underseat compartment scottoiler, disc lock, stand puck, rag, small water bottle and kitchen towel for visor cleaning.

Depending on the ride and weather can also fit in summer or winter gloves-opposite of the ones I'm wearing, wind proof shirt, sunglasses, could probably just get my 1-piece oversuit in as well.

I've never seen a bike with so much underseat room as mine

Bike tool kit and the Datatool.

One day I'll squeeze a pack of baby wipes in there; baby wipes are good for anything.

mate of mine managed tool kit and 4 pasties under seat of his gsxr600. I can manage tool kit and disc lock at a push! Think I need the gsxr, always handy to carry the odd pasty or 4!
