Pointy K5 Storage
 
Hi,

I have searched, and cannot find how to access this so mythical storage that exisits on my bike.

I found a key hole which lifted up the pillion seat cover but thats it (and I could maybe fit a pack of polos inbetween the wires) is this the only storage on the bike? or can you get under the main seat somehow?

I know im a noob :P but please excuse me I have owned the bike for 9 hours :)

cheers

Yes you found the storage!!!

I get my disc lock, tool kit and a small bottle of pop under the seat when I'm going out. Could more than likely get more under there if i tried.

Other than that its back pack or tank bag :rolleyes:

Fuse box should be mounted on a little bracket under the riders seat. My alarm is tucked into the offside fairing at the rear so doesn't take up any underseat storage.

My fuse box mount was removed when we fitted the tail tidy. The fuse box is now cabled tied to the frame. Which has created more room under the pillion seat.

The fuse box must have been moved on later models 'cos on my K7 it's under the pillion seat too. It's not loose either, it's held in place by a couple of rubber grommits.

Having said that, I've managed to get a disc lock, a small cable lock, waterproof pants and my baffle under there.

My fuse box on my K4 is flapping about under the pillion seat cowl, not attached to anything. I have been pushing it under the bridge to front seat to make room.

Can anyone post a pic of how it should be on a pointy?

Only thing I keep under my solo cowl is my baffle and my resistors for my indicators! (and they are flapping about too, must fix them up to the frame!)
