Do you keep anything in the underseat storage

[mcteague]

So far, just the tool kit and a pair of bungee cords. I stopped by Blockbuster last night to pick up a DVD and stuck it under the seat. Not only did it barely fit but it was freakin' hot in there. Guess I could put a burger under the seat and have it still steaming when I arrived at my destination!

OEM toolkit and the alarm. It leaves me just about enough room to put a packet of cigs under there I suppose, but I've never tried. I either use my tankbag (if I remember it) or stuff things down the front of my jacket

How big is it, can it contain a big chain and lock (model 2005- )? Have tried to find a picture every where but no luck!

Found this but I don know if its a good picture http://www.ebay.com/itm/2005-Yamaha-FZ6-FZ-6-Trunk-Compartment-with-Lock-Key-/110699983177

Gee, I'm going to miss my Burgman! Under the seat I can carry all the papers and tools I want, plus two grocery bags, and an extra bag and bungees if I pick up more stuff along the way. I guess junk expands to fill the available space.

What are the bare essentials, and how do you guys carry any extra items?

Backpacks FTW!
To answer the question of the chain, you might be able to get about 5' of a decent size chain in there but I wouldn't put something that heavy in there, over moving parts in a plastic box. Nothing would probably ever happen but knowing my luck, it would have broke the 1st time sending a chain in my rear wheel.

I use to keep a Kabar, spare fuses, super glue, channel locks, a 10mm t handle and a few other t handles and tht was all I ever needed.

+1 on backpacks! Its a great way to go if you dont have/like luggage. I used a backpack until I got my soft luggage, then the Givi cases.
I do have the tool kit, minor first aid kit, fuel controller, speedo corrector, and heated glove local control under there
