White 'panel' under the seat

Post by Urbanfreestyle »

So i have seen this on all pixies and wondered what it was for? initially i was thinking it was for an underseat light? I appear to be wrong... Does it do anything?

It's the window for looking at the coolant explanation bottle level.

Mmm. Fitting a light in under the seat? Never thought of that.

:ugeek: I thought about a battery operated light on the seats underside using velcro so I could remove it when I needed it elsewhere. I also thought about some non-slip shelving for the bins floor so things don't slide about and keeping scratches at bay. Then there was my painting the storage bin to a med-light gray for better visibility. Also adding a clasp or hook. I did none of it. Thoughts gone adrift >>>

It would be nice to have a light in there. My husband has saddle bags on his motorcycle and we put those tap lights in each bag. Works great.

Hmm, can't say I've seen that under the 2015 version seat - have to check again.
