I got the lower fairings for my SGS and they really look good and love the wind deflection. But what can a guy store in the fairing pockets? Mine are cool the way they pop open but don't lock so cant really store anything? I use one for my phone (the dash place for my phone is pretty tight and awkward to get the phone In and out of )

Maybe I will run the phone usb cord down to the right pocket? thxs for any idea, paul

 

I use mine for two one-quart bottles of Gatorade on long rides. Otherwise I use them for nothing.

 

I installed the lowers on my RK a couple weeks ago for riding during the cooler months. I have the locking doors. I stash an extra pair of gloves, sun glasses and a half mask in one pocket. The other I use for my phone, wallet, keys and garage door opener. Sometimes I carry snacks there on longer trips.

 

I keep a cargo net in one pocket and a disk lock in the other.

 

Some people use them for additional speakers.

I have the magnetic doors on mine and I usually keep some extra key fob batteries and some clean wash cloths in the LH side for gas spilling on my tank at fill-ups and in the RH side I keep my flex cord for my boom mic and a rain cover for my A/C.

If you're planning on using them a lot, be sure that you have the "liners", else whatever you have in there will be soggy and also perhaps moldy.

 

I found a pretty complete first aid kit at REI that would fit into one of the compartments. Nice to have, so far haven't used it for myself, but have patched up a couple of minor injuries on other folks I have encountered. And on that same idea, I keep the other side stuffed with latex gloves, for working on bike, or helping patch up strangers...

 

I keep a cleaning rag or two in the left pocket. While on a trip I keep the disk brake lock in there also.

The right pocket is usually empty. On trips I remove the right side cover and use the pocket for my water bottle. Haven’t lost one yet. I have a drink holder for the left handle bar but find the lower right pocket handier.

 

I wired my right one up for my MP3 player, also I stash a disk lock in there.
Left side, rolled up bungy cords that I use to tie a bag or two down on the back seat to the passenger grab handles, also long leather shoe laces to tie things onto the luggage rack on the tour pac.

 

Kick stand plate in the left and extra safety glasses in the right

 

We have the lockable doors and liners...right one contains a .38 derringer or a .380 semi auto, depending...left is a catch all for my wife
