It's suprising just how much room there is in the two side fairings each side of the seat.
When off to Europe, I manage to squeeze
8,10,13,17,19, & 21mm sockets, 3/8 etxn & ratchet, spare nuts, washers, bolts, fuses, bulbs, puncture outfit, full allen key set, gerber multitool, disposable camera, hand cleaning wipes, loads of cable ties, insulating tape, puncture repair kit and a first aid kit in there - sad I know, and that is as well as a full set of spanners, pliers, mini molegrips and a mini Maglite torch the tool kit bag.
This leaves the panniers free for my bottles of cheap booze & several boxes of cheap fags to keep Nelly happy!
Aye!
