Yep, I second the Saddlemate, you can put all your other bits and pieces in the underneath bit.

I just use the top of my rear seat as a saddle rack!

I use the saddle mate too - it's fab and very portable. Although some have reported that while driving normally (not towing) their saddle has been known to slip on it, so if you drive like a maniac it's worth getting a couple of those little gripper pads that people use on their dash (I got 2 for about £3 from a petrol station), totally solves the problem.
