Default Taking a trip

So in a couple weeks, I am taking my first real trip on my bike with a couple of buddies. I don't have any saddle bags but I do have a little rack for the back end of my bike. I was thinking of loadinga small bag onto my rack as well as another small bag attached to my handlebars/top of the headlight.

Any suggestions, on what ot bring other than clothes/bathroom stuff etc. We are riding from So. Cal to Sedona Az and were looking about 460 mi each way.

I was planning on a couple of wrenches, adjustable bits, threadlock. Any other can't do without items you guys can think of?

Thanks everyone

I usually avoid loading my self down with too many tools, that I probably wont need. (I also have road side with HOG and AAA) But zip ties and some duct tape can work wonders.

be careful on how you load, uneven weight distribution can be a killer - especially if something shifts while riding.
