RE: What Do You Keep in Your Saddlebags?

I have one of those HD coolers, in the summer I keep a water or two in them. Occasionally I'll put my Glock in there (if I'm carrying and plan to go into a bar/restaurant). Also a toolkit with some essentials, usually keep an extra pair of glasses for night riding, and another pair in case I get an unexpected passenger. Depending on the weather I'll throw other stuff in too (extra gloves, hat, etc.)

RE: What Do You Keep in Your Saddlebags?

I added the lid organizers to both of the side bags of my Ultra, on one side, I have my tool kit, extra gloves, glasses and rainsuit. On the other, I have a small flashlight, some tape, a ball cap, and a sweatshirt. In the tour pak, I have the wall organizer, it contains Asprin, gum, sunblock, tissue, toe and hand warmers for the wife, cords for my headsets, bungees, case for my GPS, lip balm, atlas, Bike papers, notebook, digital camera, hair brush for wife, and CDs.

When she rides with me, her rainsuit goes in the side bag, and we still haveroom to put both helmets in the tourpak whenever we stop somewhere.

Rain gear, ball cap, gloves, an assortment of tools, maps of the 3 states I ride in the most, tire plug kit, helmet if I'm not wearing it, and registration/insurance papers. I add to this assortment depending on where I'm riding to.
