Just to add my two P worth. I own a motorcycle, though it's a Jap
tourer, not something as impressively /huge/ as a Harley. I could, at a
stretch get a sawn off behind the front panel fairing on the bike and
still have it accessible. a cyberdeck, not a chance. Underseat storage
is at a minimum. The bike has a small boot where I can get waterproofs,
tool kit and torch, small bucket between air filter and battery for
spanners, oil and cloths. That's it.
Now from the Harleys I've seen here where I live, and elsewhere. Most
of them are pretty open bikes. Built for the retro feel of wind through
the body and flies in the teeth. The seat, though large, is sprung
(AFAIK) and raised from the frame - no hidey holes there.
There are variations on the theme, such as the Electra and what have you
used by the Police, and a few other like the Indian that have their own
saddlebags, but in general it's a big heavy open plan bike. Try a
backpack.
All IMO of course.
