What's under the seat?

[TrevorG]

So, I know there's the little tabs to lock some helmets in, but other than that, what's usually under the seat of a GZ? I got mine a few weeks ago and was confused by the open space underneath the seat. In most bikes that I've seen there was some storage space for insurance or whatever under the seat but this just seems to be useless space. Is my bike missing something or is that just the way it is?

My tool set, insurance papers, bike manual and that is really about it.

It's a super awesome trunk for charging your phone and what not. Huehuehue

Cathy, how do you store that stuff in there? I thought about putting a Tupperware container or something in there but it's open to the chain and I'm afraid of it getting caught. I also don't want all the water or dirt splashing up onto it and maybe ruining my papers.

[Cathy]

Do you not have a little plastic piece ?

Here you can see where the papers, tools and charger go.

Sounds like you're missing the plastic insert.

Looks like it, yeah. That makes sense. I figured it was stupid to have all that wasted space. I guess I'll be heading over to ebay to find one.

Also, it looks like that will fix my wobbly seat problem. Right now my seat wobbles left and right, I'm assuming because that insert isn't there for the foam pads of the seat to sit on and keep stable.

[Cathy]

I would assume so.

Good luck on finding one !

Edit: We should go riding since you're in Vancouver.

Maple Ridge technically

I'm still working on getting my full motorcycle license though. Those licensing offices only offer the test weekdays during business hours so I need to convince a friend to take the time off work to be my supervisor. Grr...

I would just say, he/she is outside waiting and they took the bike there for you.

Worth a try cause they can only refuse you until Wednesday. Me and Qasual are pretty close to Maple Ridge so you can join us any time for our private groups weekly Gelato ride.
