THErook here!

I have been lurking this forum for a while but thought I may as well join the party.

My question to you all “vets” and such is….

With the limited space (by limited i mean almost non-existant) to store goodies in sportbikes, what are the handiest things you guys have found to carry?

Ready, Set Go!

for me, hands down my mini corbin tank bag has been the best addition to my ninja 650r. I use to carry the basics in my jacket (wallet, phone, keys), and I find I ride much better without that added junk in my jacket!

Not sure if thats what you are looking for… but hey theres my answer!

…the bike will have a tool kit stashed in some crevice, so that’s mostly covered. I have a small Joe Rocket tank bag that I’ll use to carry an extra pair of gloves (if I think the temp will change enough to warrant it), a multi-hex wrench, a calendar that I use to track mileage and gas consumption, a cloth to clean off my visor… And sometimes I’ll add a little food if the ride will be longer. I have a pair of sunglasses in one jacket pocket, and clear safety glasses in the other, along with ear plugs.

My registration and proof of insurance is in a zip-lock bag under the rear seat cowl.

I like my cargo pants. I need to switch the phone from the belt to something else though ‘cos its hard to zip up the jacket sometimes. And I really need to buy riding pants… 😮

The Icon mil-spec vest has a some pockets which is decent.

For the bike, I have a Dowco Rally Pack tank bag, but that’s presently unused. Haven’t figure out what to do with it yet or what to put in it, really.

I’ve got some AlpineStars riding overpants with cargo pockets. Unfortunately I don’t know the particular model.

Also, on warmer days, I wear Riggs Wear Ranger pants — double cordura thigh/knee, gusseted crotch; durable stuff, and the same material that is used in riding pants/jackets. I wear some knee/shin armor underneath (velcro straps hold them in place), and they work well. And… Only $33 at denimexpress.com… Hard to beat that.
