The little storage area under the seat I have found, can let water in when it rains hard. Not ideal if you are storing your mobile or other electrical equipment (satnav) in there! I noticed at the dealers on Saturday, that a man buying a new Full Throttle had a neat waterproof cover for the storage. Mentioned this to the dealers, saying I didn't get one, but apparently it's only the Full Throttle that has it!

I was quoted over £18 for the cover, so thought I would just put my stuff in a plastic bag!

Ziplock bags!

Dicovered on a 200Km wet trip yesterday that it let water in but I dont put anything in it anyway.

It can't be any worse than the pockets in my jacket. Just wrap everything in cheap freezer bags wherever I think it might rain.

There are no rubber gaskets, sealing or anything else to indicate that it may be waterproof.

I had no idea it was only the FT that gets the compartment cover. Assumed it was all of them.

I still wouldn't trust it to be 100% waterproof but it's done ok.

I just thought the FT cover looked nifty, but not at that price

Does anyone have a picture of this cover, because I never even knew this was an option!

It's not unless you have a Full Throttle! I haven't got a pic but it's a black cover with SCRAMBLER printed on it in yellow, and fits around the storage compartment.

Does anyone have a pic of the FT under seat area?

The FT probably needs the cover because it doesn't have a rear fender.

Tray on F/T is probably same as others. I have alarm, so there is rubber insert inside of my tray...no more storage room. The cover everyone is referring to is just a weatherproof material, with an elastic edge, that fits around top of tray. From my experience, it is not all that great, and since I've had it, I have had some water in the tray after a ride in rain. Ziplock bag is probably best solution...would not spend any money on buying this cover.

Wow. I was thinking it was a plastic top that snapped on. That probably would have been better and cheaper. I use ziplock bags all the time. Not just waterproof but to keep packed items organized.

Nope...Ducati decided to go cheap on that...like they did on the suspension.

Nola, thanks for the pics and description. Not quite the sealed Tupperware box I had in mind!
