And if you have a 06, 30 Amp toggle switch & two wire lugs just in case the ignition dies.

Good question Dan.

I'd include variety of fuses, especially if you have a power strip with lots-O-farkley things.

Not sure how much stuff you want to bring but....

My old Beemer had all the tools necessary to remove both front and rear wheels. Might be hard with the huge 19mm hex (front), and 27mm socket & 14mm hex (rear) on the FeeJ.

19. Bike trailer for the FJR

20. 2nd FJR to go on the trailer (just in case)

It's only minutes from Friday where I am. How about a sag wagon? Who wants to stay in rasty motels when you can have a big Winnie with a trailer behind for those days when you are just too hung over to get the bike off the sidestand? Another advantage is that if you can haul the bike around it doesn't matter what you have in the tool kit.

- First aid kit with items suggested by an earlier (much earlier) thread.

- Slime pump

- Tire patches - both the mushroom plugs which I'll only offer to other folks with flat tires, and the sticky string which - I'll use on my bike!

- Gerber multi-tool

- Silly little reflective vest so I can get on base

- Small flashlight

- A clear conscience and hearty hi-ho Silver!!

In addition to nearly everything mentioned already I also keep on my bike at all times a siphon hose and small jumper cables. Most of the stuff I carry has been used to help OTHER riders.

I usually carry a lock ( to attach to brake disc ) in case I have to leave my bike unattended.

And while really bike related, I keep a small bottle of ibuprofen under my seat.

What Niehart said. If not a switch at least the wire nuts.

22. Plexus

Is it ok to pack an aerosol can product when riding in extreme heat????

 

[Jagermeister]

18) $20.00

That's a great idea.

My credit card company once put a "Fraud Hold" on mine, simply because I purchased gas in three states one morning, while riding to AR. Plus, you never know what will happen in a small town. Cash is good.

This has saved me a few times before. One time I was a few hrs from home and realized needed gas for my Maxima, which I miss dearly. Then I freaked when I realized I left my wallet at home!!! But I remembered I had a $20 bill stashed away. The day was saved. But I'm sure this has only happenned to me....
