How to secure the underseat toolkit VFR800Fi

[ariesblade]

Hey guys,

 

Simple question really. I have my toolkit, insurance and incident forms under my seat stored away, but they dont like to stay put. (also the stubby tire iron doesnt fit in the toolkit so that one like sliding around too) How do you secure your toolkit? Any ideas?

There are a couple of clips on the underseat tray and originally Honda supplied a large thick rubber hold down for all that. I just use a real small bungee cord now.

Here's the parts fiche: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/motorcycle/1998/vfr800fi-a-interceptor/rear-fender

 

Its #5 in the diagram.  Could be yours for the low low price of $17.72!

You mean take the seat off?

@mello dude No, one of those clips for the rubber band is hidden under the rear cowl. i have tried before reaching it with the cowl on. but my hands are not that tiny😄

I think I had a 5 or 6 inch (13 to 15 cm) $1 bungee cord.

 

Do you have a 2 piece seat like a Sargent?

Negative. Standard seat. Its only been refurnishes with (carbon-look) vinyl and leather. Ill have a search for bungee cords thanks!
