Not much room under the pillion seat, especially with the wiring etc. I think there's a pic on here somewhere of the space (might have been one of the tail tidy threads).

I doubt you'd get a decent size chain in, however I've got an Oxford disc lock that fits in no problem and there's still room for other small items (say wallet-sized).

I got my pointy 2 weeks ago and it's the absolute dogs....trying to fit a Stebel Nautilus horn as the stock horn is a) weak and b) tends not to work after about 20mins riding (due to it being slap bang behind the rad and getting too hot).

I decided against an alarm/immobiliser as it didn't reduce my insurance by much and would rather spend the £250 on mods (airflow screen, crash bungs, scott oiler etc). I'm using mine to commute (approx. 100 miles per day) although it is garaged at work and at home it's on the path but with an Oxford Stormex cover (came cheap and with free Oxford disc lock from Nightingales on Ebay) and an Oxford hard core chain/lock (which was free with subscription to Bike mag).

Enjoy the bike!
