First service completed
I have now managed to fit a CO2 inflator and spare cylinder under the seat with all that other gear.
What's under your seat?

Learned the hard way about this one. Cable lock with no reminder cord = ripped off brake lines.grover_imp said:

Got some earplugs under there but I usually can't be bothered to fish them out.. I haven't really been on any long enough freeway trips lately to feel that I would need them, and any local twisty riding I do usually doesn't warrant them.

This is an old thread but I realized that I've never looked either until just now. What the heck happened to Honda supplying cheap, crappy tools? I've got an Allen wrench, a fuse puller and a screwdriver, that's it.Cormanus_imp said:

It's a Honda, you will probably never even need those
Here's what I have packed in under my seat:
- Complete Honda tool kit (I supplemented the meager OE offering with the rest of what should have come with the bike)
- 1 each of the light bulbs: 1156 signal, 1157 tail and an H4 headlight
- Some zip ties
- A Leatherman tool
- A mini maglight
- Some spare foam ear plugs
- A shop rag

Well, you can buy the rest of the kit or buy your bike in Canada. They get them all. OR do a favor for a member and he sends them to you. THANKS AGAIN ACK!

BTW my $16,000 ST 1300 came with an allen wrench and a small rectangle of foam in the tool bag (not even a fuse puller or screw driver). No one on the ST board has ever figured out what the foam is for, and I've never needed the allen wrench on the road.
Tools on new bikes are like kick starters. Rarely necessary, but nice to have if you need one.

Dunno what's under the seat cause I can't get it off. When I find the Owners Manual that might help.

Do I have to do everything for you? See this post and the next one. You should be able to figure it out.
But ask if you can't.

Foam sample: Did you ever figure out its use Ferret?The ferret_imp said:

Under the seat:
Copies of paperwork, spare disposable ear plugs, Honda CB tool kit, bungee cord mesh - 'cause you never know what you'll bring home on your passenger seat, and I think a rag.
Worth mentioning:
Always carry the CAA (compatible with AAA) membership that includes motorcycle support. Although never used, the towing and extra gasoline is welcomed insurance.

How "small" was this rectangular piece of foam? (trying to base a theory)
the Ferret
Road warrior
Maybe 3" x 4'? Black, not very dense if I remember correctly.
edit # 19 in the parts diagram. Honda calls it a "sponge" lol. We usually called it wonder foam (like wonder what this is for?). You got the bag, a 5 mm allen and the foam. that was it.

Perhaps to dampen tool rattling?

That is exactly my thoughts. The size is not small, but perfect to fold over/around some tools.Bheezy27403_imp said:
So, (+1).
Well done Bheezy.
