Underseat pouches?
« on: February 27, 2016, 06:45:55 PM »
I need some sort of very simple underseat pouch which I can stick the registration in...I was hoping to find something I can stick to the bottom of my seat with double sided tape. What are you guys using? Can anyone point me to something simple?  I did do some google-fu but didn't come up with much except for map pouches..not sure if that's the right approach.

Rode the bike around the "short test loop" today. Boy was that a smile-maker. Still needs tuned properly.

That's actually not a horrible idea. I could always get one of the nice zip-close ones and stick it to the underside...

I toyed with the idea of an internal tube in the handlebar/clip-on with an internal thread on the clip-on, the tube "cap" threaded to fit on the end of the clip-on. Opening on the other end of the tube, stuff your papers inside, and pull it out when you need it. Doesn't have to be elaborate and would be a nice little stash spot.

I just slide mine under the rubber battery strap. AGM battery so no mess to damage the paper.

The good thing about the 78 seat is that it actually has a small document holder space on the bottom of the seat pan.

It's where I keep my insurance & registration for the bike.

My 75 CB550K1 has a document holder, too.  Thankfully.

Whereever you put it , it needs to be safe from theft but, it has to be accessible if you are stopped by the police at a checkpoint or stop. They sometimes aren't patient as you disassemble the bike to access it. Since no one else rides my motorcycle I put it and insurance id in a baggie beneath my helmet liner inside my helmet in a ziplock baggie and change the baggie every three months to keep it from  leaking

So does my '74 750 and '76 550F, I assumed OP had a custom seat. 

BTW - the owners manual was in there when the bike was originally sold.

Here at least (Ontario, Canada) keeping a copy of the registration in the vehicle is sufficient. The insurance card must be original.

Would this work?

maybe...but that has no bottom. I would have to find a way to attach it to the bottom of the seat and then who knows how well it would keep the environment out..

I never pack original documents.
I've even renewed and cancelled my policy with colour copies.

Screw it!  And keep paperwork in a ziplock baggie with your stash!

In TX, we only need to carry proof of insurance, no need to have registration paperwork as they run your plate and driver's license for that info.

I used one on Dorothy with the old saddle, it was originally passport pouch from cordura or something similar.  I attached it with two sheet metal screws to the bottom of the seat.  Worked like a charm, had my mileage and maintenance moleskin in there plus insurance card and registration. 

But after swapping seat for CB750; I just used the built in compartment.
