SV tool box position

Does any one else think the tool kit position on the SV650 pointy is in a slightly dangerous position. I was just looking at what would happen it the press stud came open and the tool kit would drop straight into the chain.

Has anyone else removed it from the bike?

I lost my tool kit on the way to woark one day. I didn't know about it till i got to work didn't feel it hit the chain or anything.

The potential for it to fall out is enough to worry me to be honest, and you have just stated it can happen.

Might have to get rid me thinks.

Mine is in a pouch, and is a very snug fit into the little box. I don't think it would come out if I removed the box "lid" permanently. If you don't use it then either remove it, or if you don't like the idea of being without any tools (I don't) then seal the box more securely. Bit of black gaffer tape maybe, so you can still get to it if need be.

Mines going back when i can get a new cover for the box, (i already found a new tool kit)

Mine got moved to under the pillion seat/cowl.

There is now a disc lock living in the tool box bit which is actually more liable to fall out if anything... Ok, I didn't think it through properly.

e.d. you sure yours wasn't stolen, as above mine is so snug I can't believe mine could fall out.

I'm sure, i saw the tool kit when i stopped a few miles from work at the news agents, i noticed the lid already gone but was to lazy to take the tool kit out, so by the time i actually got to work the tool kit was gone.

I personally think that is a bit of a silly concern but i haven't had any freak accident to tell me differently either

I have friend who has SV here in España, he also play your cricket. He tell me he keeping his tool box in altogether different place?
