As most of you have probably realized by now, there is a small storage compartment on the bike underneath the seat (seat needs to be removed to access). It has a black, elastic nylon cover over it with the Scrambler logo.

Wondering if anybody is making use of it, and if so, what kind of stuff you are keeping in it?

Here's what I like to keep in there:

-Washcloth (I wet it before I go for a long ride, use it to remove all the bugs on me, then rinse it out at gas stations or when I stop to eat. In a pinch, it could be used for first aid I guess)
-Retractable Cable lock (so I don't need to worry about taking my helmet and coat with me if I want to walk around)
-Bungee Strap (because you never know when you'll need to strap something to the back seat)
-$20 (for emergencies like if I lose my wallet or if my wife empties our bank account...then at least I can buy a tank of gas)

Curious to hear what you guys & gals use it for.

Right now I just have a little leather 'wallet' I made to hold my insurance and registration as well as my ducati roadside assistance card. That way my sunglasses also fit in there if I need to store them there. And right now, there's a zip lock baggie full of Johnson and Johnson's baby powder I bought before heading home today because I had to do emergency crotch chaffing prevention.

COMING SOON: Some sort of butt cream or powder for emergency crotch pain relief while riding or pre-riding if I'm going more than 50 miles at a time.

ROTFL! I nearly spilt my coffee when I read this update!!!

FWIW, I keep a small puncture repair kit, a ratcheting screw driver with various bit heads, a Stanley Allen Key tool ( 2 to 10 mm size), a mini adjustable wrench plus some assorted tidbits from the el-cheapo Scrambler toolkit. Also have the bungee cord contraption hooked onto the seat.

Have to add the helmet lock strap and also a small Xena disc brake lock with alarm.

IIRC @alepplew had a very interesting & descriptive underseat section picture posted earlier.

I have my helmet lock, my brake disc lock and a raincoat for emergencies.

Right now its at Corbin so I emptied it out but on the usual, I keep $10 for gas emergency. Ins. and reg and 2 sets of earplugs for the Termi/ Sounds great once you block out 60% of the db! In the tray I carry freeze out glove liners, a balaclava, optical lens cleaner and a large optical chamois. Tight fit but I will barely have to access it.
And my spare scrambler key! Jus kid, wanted to give you a shock!

WTF! The small compartment in has been occupied by the insurance's GPS!
The tool bag fit tight, no space for anything else. I've hanged documents and warranty book underneath the seat using the elastic band.

Tool kit sits under the seat using the elasticated band while I have small pack of hand wipes and a neck tube sitting permanently in the cubby area, and sometimes my Zumo 390.

LMAO! Silverluxe, you're on a whole new level in my books as of this post. Hillarious. Thanks for the entertainment.

Some great suggestions in here.

Any plans for a zip lock baggie full of Johnson and Johnson's baby powder I for possible emergency crotch chaffing prevention like our buddy @silverluxe

Yesterday when I pulled up to a truck stop and dug the ziplock baggie of white powder out from under my seat, a girl about 12 years old was getting out of a minivan in the parking spot next to me and her eyes lit up like she was seeing me transfer narcotics from the bike to my pocket.

Maybe Scottoiler should think of a new delivery system to keep a rider's crotch area powdered. I will leave the marketing copy to your imagination...

I've heard that Anti Monkey Butt powder turns to goopy paste so I have been too scared to try it out.

My icon didn't have cover on the under seat storage tray. Could someone post a photo of the cover both on and off the tray? That way I'll know what to ask my dealer to get for me. TIA.

 

[silverluxe]

There's a cover??

I put, in this "trunk" the bag containing the tools. It frees the box on the mudguard, where I'll try to put waterproof trousers.
