A compressor would come in handy for that.

I rigged up a cigarette plug from the battery into the left bag as cell phone charger.

RAM MOUNTS have an assortment of GPS/Cell mounts. Installed a cup holder for the long rides.

Rain gear, towel, leatherman, registration and manual in the right.

#2 I carry new rain gear, owners manual, registration and a couple of bottles of water in my saddle bags. What do you carry?

#3. There are a few Harley groups close by. Do I chose just one? Should it be in the town where I purchased my Harley?
Congrats ... 2U2 !!! I pick mine up This Mon., was given free membership to the Local HOG Chapter, along with a $500 HD gift card and 10 free fill-ups, oh yeah and a shirt.
