• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Must Have's for Frunk?

I am getting a Ryker 900 shortly and wanted to hear from you about the 'must have's' to carry with you. I have a LinQ bag, but may not always have it attached. What are some things you all think I should have with me at all times? I'm thinking:

tire pressure gauge
pen/notepad
charging cable for phone
zip ties

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
(sarcasm) Wallet with creditcard, and loose change, few bottles of water/ or spirits, helmet, gloves, etc. etc. Just Kidding:2thumbs:

Rain gear/jacket can go on the rear fender:

I carry a tire plug kit and compressor. Also a butane soldering iron and some solder. Has come in handy several times on other bikes. I've spliced an SAE connector on the compressor that plugs into the SAE in my frunk.
 
A spellchecker? <G>

Some nice suggestions though. I'd at least pack some hobby wire, duck tape, a bungie net, and a tire repair kit.
 
Remember it gets hot in there! Make sure whatever you put in it can withstand the heat. I put aluminum insulating tape on the exterior similar to what Slingmods sells, but I bought a roll for about $10 that worked perfectly.
 
Daily driving city or to and from work not much, small tool kit is about all, long trip as much necessities as possible. Tools, wire, tape, first aid, tire kit, extra water (even if hot it's still water) rain gear and what ever else I can think of and fit in the side bags for the trip. Frunk/trunk gets the travel bags and needed items for over night stay.
 
Mine is permanently stocked with
  • Tyre Gauge
  • Tyre Valve extension
  • Visor Wipes
  • Micro Fibre cloth
  • Owners Manual (only because I'd forget it when I go for a service, and at 200KMs to get there, I cant just drop back to get it)
  • Rainex and open weave soft cloth for it in Ziplock bag
  • Intercom Cheat Sheet laminated (for when it goes into some mode and need a PhD to get it back to normal)
  • Shopping bag (for that run to the supermarket or wet/muddy/dirty clothes)
  • 2 x plasticised cable bike locks for when we travel to attach helmets to pillion hand grips
 
I put the stuff from my pockets in the frunk.. I bought a motorcycle license plate stash box that goes where the rear license plate goes and keep my registration, insurance, tire plug kit, apple airtag, co2 cartridge (to fill tire) in it.
