To me it sounds like your about ready. Don't forget a flash light (I have the tendancy to forget one), sun screen, and some powder for really hot days. Besure to have good maps of the directions you are planning. I have the yearly Hog book but I chose to by the Harley/Rand McNeely book since we are crossing several states so I don't have to carry a dozen fold outs this year (yes I have GPS but still take the maps...hard to get an over all view on the zumo).

I bought a luggage rack for the tour pack to strap down my Jacket. Not sure I want to carry luggage there but you could put a nice mid-size bag for carrying your camera, maps, etc. so they are easy to get to...that gives you more room in the tour pack. I've even seen a few coolers back there. I bought a cooler for my back seat this year.

We try to carry 4 - 5 days of clothing each then we have to do laundry....we have a bag for the back of Hubby's bike so we are not so limited for room.

Whish I had that much time off...I'd definately be gone gone gone !!!

 

you can also UPS or USPS a goodie box to someplace along the route and do the same for items going home.

 

Figure your last stop before heading home and U.P.S. a carton with additional clothing, etc. You can then load up the carton with your allready worn clothing and send it home. Works for me 100% of the time. Good luck and ride safe.

 

great idea by 17 seconds Tinkermc.

 

This is optional, but one of the best things I use for touring (besides rain gear) is a GPS. I have a Garmin 330 and a Ram handlebar mount. Besidesrouting you to destinations, aGPS will help you findmotels, restaurants and gas stations.I recentlydownloaded H'D's dealer directory to my GPS.

 

If you add a luggage rack to that tourpak you can get either a motorcycle bag or a good size gym bag (at least water resistant) for jackets/longsleeved shirts/rain gear. Get one with some exterior pockets for small items & fill one pocket with garbage bags & paper towels. All that will allow you to keep your computer, maps, camera, her purse, her makeup, your shave kit, tool kit, etc. in the tourpak. Now you each have a *full* saddlebag for clothes. Take one change of jeans, a few shirts, a few socks & an equal number of underware changes. Be sure to take either swim wear or shorts. You can wear 'em in the pool & while you're washin' clothes. Soft shoes or sandals will also fit in the rack bag with the rain gear.

If you have a GPS, & carry your computer, you won't need an atlas since your GPS software should be on your computer.

 

Chain and lock. Qt. of oil if I'm crossing the desert or somewhere remote. I also use Under Armor long sleeve tees and bicycle styleunderware for touring, they wick moisture and your not sitting on the underware seam, no more squirming on the seat.

 

Here's an excellent website devoted to motorcycle touring. The guy's not a Harley rider, but there's a lot of good stuff on there. I would definitely add a rack to the tourpack, keep your raingear and other stuff you need to get at right away, like medicine and bug spray. It's hard to pack for a two week trip for two, but it can be done if you're careful.

Others have motioned it's a good idea to make a weekend practice run to see what you might have forgotten to pack. Make sure you boots are comfortable for walking, and take a pair of flips or sandals to give your feet a break. I have a tendency to forget the chargers for the phone and camera, so I always check twice.

 

Great info thanks!

 

For sake of storage space try Frog Togs rain gear and get a LED headlamp for hands-free lighting. Others have many great suggestions. I'll use some myself.
