I carry spare relays and fuses.
But I also agree with someone who said the most important tool you can carry is your cell phone. So I take my phone too and would likely call for help if I had a problem.

How about RideOn in the tires? Flats mess up trips.

If you take your phone with you, as I always do, it may be a good idea to have the BRP support line or road-side assistance programmed in it, just in case you need to make use of the B.E.S.T Road-Side Assistance.
I've been recently talking with my dealer about B.E.S.T., and I think I will go that route.
In addition, how about a few dollars in there; emergency money for food, gas, hotel, in case you misplace your wallet. The suggestion came up, as a joke I think, on another thread - but I thought it may be a good idea; a few bucks under the seat or somewhere, in a ziplock bag . Just a thought.
Cheers.

got some shopping to do
For the Rideon, do you put that in the tires as prevention or after a flat? I've seen the stuff, but never really paid attention.

Neither is a toolkit, but both are good ideas. I always have the BEST number, other roadside assistance, and my dealers' numbers all programmed in. I also tuck away some cash in a locked compartment. Spare key a good idea for long trips. I also agree about the Ride-On (or spare repair kit and compressor). Don't forget some rags, duct tape, electrical tape, spare spark plugs, and maybe some hand cleaner. Don't forget a flashlight with fresh batteries.

Yes it is a flat prevention. Also makes the spyder ride a little smoother. Ride-On is a site sponsor and you can find the info on their site that is listed on the home page.

I carry a small fire extinguisher and a couple of flares in case I come across an accident that needs either one of these.

You might also examine the contents of the supplies tool kit. If they are of low quality, you could replace each item with a high quality tool. Don't forget a suitable windshield cleaner.

WOW, I cant believe I can add something here even after 12 replies.
ZIP ties!
and a roll of "rescue tape"
Tire Plug kit and an air supply (I use a motopump but a can of fix a flat would get you home)
First Aid Kit
Survival gear (In FL that consists of simply a bottle of insect repelent and
A small compass)
If you have to walk out at night you know what I mean.
A good flashlight

flash lights are the best to carry. They are small, have very bright light and the batteries last a long time. You can get a reliable model at any box hardware store for about 4 bucks. They are small enough you can carry two one on the bike and one on a belt loop, purse, shirt pocket just use imagination. /ken

I agree with the tire plug kit,an alternative to ride on is to carry a small 12 volt compressor and a tire plug kit ( this has never failed me yet and have had some nasty holes in my sidewalls on my ATV) easy to use.

TIRE KIT
Progressive Suspension TRK-2 Tire repair kit.
Comes with every thing needed to fix a flat.
Inculding 3 CO2 cartridges [I added 3 more cartridges to be sure]
The whole kit is about the same size as 2 decks of cards.
A air compresser is not needed with this kit. I've used it it works.

Wow...
I never thought of all the possibilities of this. I think I'm going to make a list. I also think I'm going to need more storage space! Saddle bags or something.
