I'm thinking of some bag, not too big that I could strap to the seat behind me. I just want to put small stuff in it like a camera, wallet, windbreaker etc.
Any recommendations?
What kind of bag can be strapped to the seat securely?

not to sure, but this is what ktm offers... http://ktmusa.com/690-SMC.100198.19.html?&detailview=3&cHash=7890c20986

not sure what actually fits on the smc from that page though.

yeah, I saw that, there is 1 tailbag there.
I was kinda thinking of some sort of a bag that would strap to the seat. It would stay secured when the seat is in place. Maybe even a backpack would do if the shoulder straps fit in between the seat and the body work.

you could just use a back pack when you need to carry stuff. thats what i do.

I'm using one right now. I just don't like the idea of going down and having a backpack filled with hard stuff on my back.

yeah, i'm using a backpack too, but would be nice to have something else that mounts on the bike....not much room there

I was looking for same thing. I want to be able to have a pair of night glasses on my bike at all times. I haven't found anything i like yet. Maybe tonight I will have to take a ride and do some shopping :bike:

You can use a fanny pack (I know it sounds queer..) and run the straps under the seat to hold it on. I was going to do this to the passenger seat on my 1000rr after seeing a guy do it on another forum. Good for cell phone, drink and a few other small items.

I'll get a pick tonight of a fanny pack I attached right behind the key on mine. It's a great spot to keep insurance, sunglasses, phone, etc. It's too small for anything else however.

that's all I need it for, well maybe a map and a bottle of water but they should fit too, I think.

A pic of the mounted fanny pack w/ the straps ran thru the gaps in the radiator shrouds and running behind the radiator:



A pic of the bike w/ some stickers removed, notice the fanny pack strap (ignore the other 2 bikes in the background):



And for those who care I also mounted a cable lock holder on the bike that allows me to take a cable lock and it's completely out of the way:



Here is the actual cable lock clicked into the cable lock holder:



And here is the cable from above showing how completely tucked in and nonintrusive it is as it kind of fits into a gap:

Some good ideas Suns.
