I'd add asmall multi-meter. I seem to have more electical problems (than strictly mechanical) out on the road.

Thanks, guys.
As I said, it's still evolving.
I have since removed the toiletries items and found a separate bag for them.
That created enough room in the main compartment for the kryptonite cable and lock so now nothing is rattling around loose inside the saddlebag.
The multi-meter is a good idea. I also want one of those little cig lighter/power port powered air compressors for airing up a tire.
I agree, majors repairs are not going to happen roadside.
I also agree that electrical gremlins are the most likely show stopper.
But I think it prudent to be able to tighten up any fasteners that rattle loose along the way. Having my header bolts vibrate off made a believer out of me.
Basic maintenance such as an oil change while on long tripsis also a possibility.

I believe in traveling light. alot of your stuff would be left home. before I take long rides the fluids get changed and last till I get home again. no filter wrenchs, funnels, shave cream.one of those 4 way screwdrivers, a pair of plyers and a adjustable can tighten most things. a can of tire fixer will save the day. after a few trips I found out what you need and whats just excess baggage.
