underseat space
Don't think I have seen a bike with such a congested underseat space. Thought I had sorted the location for a Scottoiler reservoir in the limited space available on top of the toolkit and then received Givi Monorack arms today and find they have a bloody big bracket to fit in under the seat !

Re: underseat space
You haven't seen a Dorsoduro then. I can't even fit a roll for lunch.

Re: underseat space
Gsx-s has sod all space. Disc lock and it is full. SV is cavernous.

Re: underseat space
My K3 GSXR has a massive boot compared to my old pointy.
It came to me with a disc lock - I've never taken it out, I have my puncture kit and tool kit and I carry a bag for larger needs. Plus I could still get a roll in there if needed.

Re: underseat space
TLR FTW - I could pack enough under the massive hump for 2 day (overnight) adventures with no tank bag or other luggage to get in the way.

Re: underseat space
My 99 svs is pretty good tbh, factory tool kit, alarm unit, tracker unit, extra accessory fuse box, and now with the single seat hump fitted I now still have room for emergency wet weather gear. Probably one of the better bikes I've had for stowing stuff.
