Default 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 !

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Disc lock, small rodent, that's it. Got a GSX S too!
