Toolkit Location? Stupid Question No 2?

[baz elzebub]

Hi, all!

Idle curiosity and very probably is a stupid question, but if an XL400V 'Alp still had its original toolkit after several years & owners, where would it normally be stored/hidden?

Found a small empty cavity at the top-rear of left-hand side cover, but nowt in there. Honda used to tuck the kits under seats, but this 'un's bolted down, so that's a no-no...

Ideas, please?

if its the same as the 600.. its a wee box on the left and the loop thatthe key opens is also where you can lock the d ring of our helmet.. if you want to leave it with the bike.. its a very smal tool box ( it's a HONDA )..

Ve-e-e-e-r-y interestink.........but not on zis heapa-da-Honda, by the looks of things; just a pop-in sidecover (studs front & rear) and a 6mm screw underneath to hold it on, but no keyhole or d-ring.

I'll have another search...

possibly looks like this on the side where the helmet lock is located

Have one of these on mine.V handy for tool kit or bungy cords when touring.The fact it locks is also benefit. Bloody hard to find for sale though.

Can't remember seeing anything like that on my 400, but I'll take a closer squint at the weekend - just got it into my garage for the first time since I bought it, and now I can't get at that side to see....

Roll on, the weekend...
