I have a 2002 300EX and I want some type of storage on it. What do you guys with sport bikes use to take small stuff like a lunch,parts,tools,drinks.I just want to see what some of you are doing because I hate to wear a backpack that drivers me nuts!

The only thing I could think of that you dont have to wear are the six pack racks. Several companies make them. I think PRM has a decent one.

well, the bee........umm coke stays about the same temp as the outside. so if you ride in ice cold conditions you should be fine ;)

I've seen the PVC container before but I wouldn't put anything carbonated in there;)

I was looking at a review of the z250 and it has a awsome storage container under the seat. Why didn't honda do that on there bikes?

because they didnt.. same reason they dont have grease fittings anywhere on the bike, but the other manufactures do..

if you want to carry stuff, get a backpack or a 6 pack rack..

My girlfriend bought me this bag (tank bag) for my CBR that attaches to the gas tank for when I go on long rides. It kind of gets in the way when I am really cayon carving but other than that I hardly noitice it. The tank on my bike is pretty flat though. I don't use it on my quad but you definatly could! It is big enough to put a camera, some snacks, tools, a cell phone and all that other good stuff.
