Everything said allready, plus a Harley road atlas. It lists all of the HD dealerships with address and directions.

You should look into carrying a tire repair kit and a pump. If you're not running inner tubes fixing a flat is pretty simple. There are pumps which you can run off of a 12 volt adapter as well as some that you use the motor as a large air compressor by attaching a hose to the spark plug hole. A couple of flares in case you have a break down at night on a dark road would also be a good idea. Lastly a good map so you can avoid the slab.

RE: Extended road trip. What do you guys carry along?
a 2006 bike probably wont need spare parts or plugs. A few basic tools to fix anything that vibrates loose, flashlight, knife, and zip ties.
Something to clean your windshield, glasses, goggles, face-shield
All the basic OTC mets... Tylenol, immodium, tums, benadryl, visene, nodoze...
Emergency snacks. I have been in areas where I couldn't find a place to stay or eat and nearly fell off my bike from exhaustion. High energy stuff to get you that last 100 miles can be a life saver.
Phone, charger, multi-use clothes...
Toilet paper.
Should all fit in one saddlebag. I always pack an extra dufflebag in my saddlebags (one that collapses to use almost no space) for things I might acquire on the road.

Take less clothes than you think. (This is not counting your ridinggear of course.)You'll be buying t-shirts and there are washing machines in most motels.
