Making full use of the under seat storage.

[earthman]

Now I know that us SE owners have a bit less due to the radio unit but what nooks & crannies have you discovered & what item(s) have you managed to store there?

I've always managed to store some useful/emergency items on a bike, ones that hopefully I'll never need to actually use but you never know,....for example, a little hand siphon pump to transfer petrol, the smallest can of WD40, some rag and latex gloves, a pocket sized multi meter.

Yes, all those items could fit easily into a pannier but I tend to keep those for other items/general shopping etc.

I've noticed that there's a rectangular space on the underside of the pillion seat, is the owners hand book meant to be stored there?

I removed the bits on the rear fender ( cut off with a dremel tool ) meant to hold the Triumph lock, so my tool kit would fit in the space.   I have a spare headlamp bulb and odds and ends in the tiny storage bin above the radio.  I'd actually remove the radio to get the 3L of storage if it was simple..

I keep my tool kit in the little glasses holder under the rider seat. Then under the pillion seat I have my Autocom Logic intercom, the Kenwood bike to bike radio and a puncture repair kit (Sticky worm type) with associated tools. Then behind the number plate I have the lockable first aid kit which you can see here

I remember that Hein Gericke stores use to sell those 'behind number plate' first aid boxes for a while, there were two different sizes, great idea.

No - that space is designed specifically for the Triumph "D" Lock -
The shackle part also fits under the seat too 

( Ignore the Arrows - they were showing the location of the Heated Seat Plugs in another post )

I think that we are talking about two different spaces, remove then pillion seat from the bike and turn it upside down, that's the rectangular space I'm talking about.

The space underneath the pillion itself IS for the owner's manual.

I removed the small tray above the Radio [4 screws] and have a few bagged things in there sitting on the Radio unit; Tyreweld, 1st aid kit, spare bulbs etc.

There's a surprising amount of spare space in there even with the radio in situ - and still watertight as the hinged lid remains in place.
