2 spark plugs
1 quart oil
1 roll electrical tape
dash lamp bulbs
1 can “fix a flat” wrapped in a rag and taped up.
* wrench to fit every size needed on your bike,

clutch cable
flashlight and batteries
wire and duct tape (wrap a small amount on a stick)

colored rags
I have learned from riding older bikes to carry extras parts. Even on the newer bikes today, it always makes me feel better to have them along. I also carry colored rags to put under my bike when working on it. Have you ever dropped a nut or bolt and couldn’t find it?
*The wrenches can be separate in the bottom of your saddlebag.
