    In my topbox are a few tools including insulation tape and half a dozen cable ties, spare plug, spare bulb for tail light (didn't bother with front because if the dip beam goes I'll manually dip the lamp), spare earplugs, spare gloves and my waterproofs and on a good day two pies, my camera and a flask of coffee.

    Cheers

    Just strap a big waterproof luggage roll to the pillion seat - cheap, light, waterproof & simple

    As for extra bits of stuff, like anything it's a learning curve. Find out what works for you & the trip you are planning.

    '92 - VFR750
    '91 - NC30

    '08 - 600 Hornet for sale
    (kind of....)
