Make the rear under seat compartment waterproof

[Markino]

Hi guys,
is there a way to make the rear compartment waterproof or at least reduce the amount of water that wvery time it's raining enter in there?

 

[Rocker66]

I have ridden my NC in some really heavy downpours and never noticed that compartment getting wet

 

[Markino]

Really?
I don't speak about the lfront ouggage box... I speak about the compartment under the passenger seat where is located the fuel tank cap....

 

[Rocker66]

Yes that is what I refering to as well

Why do you care? There is nothing there but waterproof electrical connectors. Also, if you make it waterproof, it will probably hold water that is introduced from above through the gaps at the side of the rear seat.

Put whatever you plan on storing in there in a waterproof bag of some sort.

 

[Markino]

I'd prefer that my cloth will remain dry....

Maybe the "problem" is just where you explain: "above through the gaps at the side of the rear seat"
If it is... all of you may get the stuff inside wet.

I think he is referring to a hard case piece of luggage.

The only item I have ever placed in the rear pillion seat is the helmet stay strap. It fits nicely and securely inside the very tail of the bike. Much easier than storing it anywhere else on the bike. How you can fit anything else under that seat, is beyond me.

The 2 times I have washed my bike, no water was present in this compartment.

I don't think so as this is how he describes it "I don't speak about the lfront ouggage box... I speak about the compartment under the passenger seat where is located the fuel tank cap."...

Exactly! Under passenger seat!

Sorry for my English...

There is a small void at the rear of the plastic, behind the gas fill area and almost over the tail light. I think that is what he is talking about. It is just the right size and I have a small tool kit in a canvas bag in that area myself. I had not thought about rain/water getting in there. Perhaps I'll have to rethink that one and put it back behind the rubber bands in the frunk where it is suppose to be.

No problem with your English. You speak my language far better than I could yours

 

[L.B.S.]

Huh! I can't say I would have thought of that spot as one to have water find it's way in. It rains here where I live, a lot, and haven't had any go in there yet, that I can see. Sorry can't be of any help Markino!

I store a large elastic cargo net in the furthest back section of the tail, and a flat repair kit with three co2 canisters in front of that. I do have the flat kit and canisters in a heavy duty Ziploc bag, though.

Your English is fine, my reading comprehension needs work.................

well I moved my toolkit into the rear space, plus I carry a piece of non-slip for the rider's seat, plus quite a large plastic stand footplate

This bike has the largest waterproof storage compartment on the planet. Put something there that can get wet, or bag it.
