Open your saddlebag/TP, what ya got?
Wondering what yall keep on you the majority of time. Heres my typical list:
RIGHT BAG (always 75% full):
Gerbings Rain Gear
Snap-on full face clear visor, for my half helmet when it pours
some tools / spare bungee cords
LEFT BAG (about 20% full, without helmet):
can of quick spray polish
few old tshirts for dusting/polishing
some tools
dual cup holder (made by me) for when wifey sends me to get us coffee
half-helmet (when im not using it lol)
When im needing some extra space I Bungee my raingear to the back of my sissybar because it takes up almost 50% of my saddlebag! The Gerbings pouch isnt all that bad looking, so I dont mind it on there and its out of the way.
How about you? What ya got in there??

Left and right bags = custom tool bags that fit perfectly in the bottom with everything you'd need for roadside repairs.
Tour pak = what ever the OL wants.
Long trips are completely different.

Left bag - Tool bag with 3/8" socket set up to 1", 1/4" socket set up to 9/16. Both deep and shallow in both sizes. Ratchets and extensions. Wrenches from 1/4" to 1". Screwdrivers, pliers, knife, tape, fuses, bulbs, bungee cords, ratchet straps, and prolly other stuff. (I'm an aircraft mechanic, and never leave home without tools).
Right bag - typically empty so I can use it for travel.

Left bag, HD multi-tool, suspension air pump, knife, air gauge, tire repair kit, shop rag, $100.00 bill, all in a kid organizer, right bag, rain gear, microfiber towels and waterless converted emergency dive air supply bottle incase i have to use the tire repair kit cleaner. I'm not allowed to open the tour pack, but I know there's a cargo net in there, and sunscreen...and I don't want to know what else.
