I like leaving a bunch of space in mine as I frequently use it to put that unexpected odd thing in.. beer, food, post office collections.. Used to keep wet weathers in there but rain isn't an issue anymore. Apart from that I keep the basic tool kit in there with some additions and replacements & tyre repair kit and same as grog $20 or $50. I've also got the PC3 in there. Missed the opportunity to get a bracket off kanerdog on the old forum so it just sits in there now.

I feel under equipped, I only carry the standard tools kit, a disk lock and a bottle of coke.

Your more equiped than me mate.. 

I used to carry a puncture repair kit until i got a puncture that wasnt repairable by anything!! Now i just carry a fully charged phone and breakdown cover.
As for the rockets 111's under seat.. I think i can fit a set of 6 first class stamps... I think 12 might be pushing it.

I carry one of these - never yet failed to fix a roadside puncture and dead easy to use
