Pardon my ignorance, but what the hell is a 20?

I've heard of a 40- as in 40 oz before, but wouldn't that get hot (and therefore taste nasty) after being under the seat for a while?

My guess would be $20. I've put a $20 under M2nc's seat after he left home one day without his wallet. With a $20, he could at least get some lunch and a tank of gas to get home on.

Actually, I put a $100.00 under the battery.
I take a multi-tool with me as well as a Cruz tools tool kit in the place of the factory "tool kit". That all the barely fits under the seat.

Told you that was a stupid question.

I'd do something like that and forget the cash was there, LOL!

I mean.. I ride an SX... but you really got room for stuff?
I added an allen wrench to my tool kit.(stowed under the ground cable)
Other than that, I'm hard pressed to put my registration in there... (under the battery hold down rubber-band)
I could probably fit a pair of sunglasses up by the shock.. but, unless its night time, I'm not without them. riding into the rising sun is about the suckiest thing in the world.

Have some fuses in there (didn't see anyone else list that)... I've twice been riding down the road just to have the ignition fuse quit for apparently no reason.. never did it again on those bikes. Don't know if the buell has that.. but with the vibration, rain, american engineering ... fuses just give up some times.. Small thing to be leaving you out in nowhere.

S&W Airweight and a cell phone. Not much you can't get with just those.
Oh, and a kind word.

Safety goggles? If your visor is flying off, you should be using a helmet that wasn't made in the 70's.

Cell phone charger? My phone wired up on my bike, its charging while I ride : )



A tire plug kit? Nope, running on puncture proof tires.

I keep a Gerber multi tool, allen key set, other basic tools including Torx 27 bit screwdriver. A few random bolts, some electrical tape, a paperclip, ECMspy cable, and whatever else I think I might need on the road eventually.

The resevoir to my automatic chain oiler. A small hand picked tool kit. Spare relays and fuses (haven't needed a fuse yet but needed a relay twice). A six foot wire rope lock for running through my helmet and jacket. A pen. A piece of kevlar shoe-lace, and a long piece of 550 cord.

lol @ "i carry 2 guns...my left and right arm...thats all i need"

also, it appears MacGyver lurks on our board : )

I keep my tool kit with a 27T added to it, my registration, $20 (a new addition, thanks to this thread!) under my seat. I use this bag to throw my wallet, phone, spare keys (I have ONLY my bike key in ignition, no key ring, nothing), and shades (keep a clear and dark with me)in:

Who's talking about guns under the seat? That's about as useless as left and right arms in a gunfight.

One of these days, I'm going to pick up a passenger seat and cover from ebay and convert them into some kind of real trunk. I'm likely to never use that as a seat and the "trunk" is barely useful.

Stock tool kit, lock and ownership in zip and in zip.

If I need anything more, I rethink the need. If I still have to take anything, I have a Joe Rocket Space Pak tail bag that's pretty good.
