My Tour Pak and Trunk are never empty. I always have Emergency Medical, Repair, Safety and Other Gear. What items, if any, do you keep on board at all times.

Tour Pak - Emergency Medical Kit, Mult Tool Kit, Air Suspension Pump, Half Helmet & Helmetless Headset, Mesh Jacket, Half Helmet, Trike and Boom Owners Manuals, Tire Gauge. Forgot to include the Tire Puncture Kit w/12 Volt Air Compressor and Backup C02 Inflator w/3 extra Cartridges. Extra pairs of Fingerless and Full Fingered Gloves. Dual USB Charger for Tour Pak Power Port.

Trunk - Rain Suit/Boots and Half Helmet.

These are always along for local or touring rides.

Need to purchase a torx set for traveling to add to the tool set. Mesh coat, gloves , maps, rain suit and a towel. Tire repair plugs but no air :Shrug:. If your tire bead breaks your screwed. Insulated water bottle to add. Otherwise I’ll wate for the help truck.

Or Cary a water bottle of gasoline and, a road flare. Set it on fire �� put the flare on the road so no one hits you, and collect the insurance . No waiting for assistance.

Agreed! Once had inner sidewall punctures, no joy with Plug Kit either.:(
 
When i had a Tri-Glide i carried in the trunk a jack and spare tire, Air compressor and a long tow rope.....But the most useful tool was a cell phone, And credit card, so i didn't need all that stuff...:D.....
 
Tour pack: OEM tool kit, micro fiber rags, towel, flexible tie downs (in case I need to fasten something to tour pack rack). Helmets and gloves stay in there when parked.

Trunk: rain suits, riding jackets, lawn chairs, extra towel.

I keep the tour pack fairly empty because generally speaking the TG is also my daily driver for trips to the store and such.
 
I want the Jesse James tour pack.:clapping: I saw him on tv, he said if you can't fit it in your pocket you don't need it. Sure enough headed for Sturges next thing you know he has a hat, hummm wonder where that came from? Ridin farther down the road now he's got a jacket. Seems he always had what he needed. He either had the invisible tour pak, or he was pullin stuff out of his ass.:Shrug: Anyway whatever he was using didn't clutter his bike up at all.:laugh:
 
Tour Pak while parked: Leather Jacket, liner, vented jacket ( will generally were one of these while riding), full face helmet (always wear when riding), various charging cables in a pouch for phones and Bluetooth items in the winter I will add gauntlets.

Trunk: Tool bag (includes CruzTOOLS RTH3 kit, 1 quart oil, TG manual, needle nose pliers, side cuts, a few Allen and torqs sockets that are not in the kit, wire ties), rain gear for myself and wife, extra change of clothes in case I get rained on while on the way to work, bungee net, chaps for both of us, in winter I will add heated gear, small box of OEM parts.

Saddle bags: left side will have full finger and half finger vented gloves and a pair of full finger leather gloves. right side is the wife's and she usually has a pair of readers in there and snack while we are riding.

I'm certainly not fortunate enough to have a camera crew and fleet of support vehicles following whenever I take a road trip.:drive:

Can't Touch That!:banana-mac:
 
Mine's not a Tri-Glide, but I found this thread interesting.

Tour Pac, Daily Rides: Rain gear, jacket, rags, tire gauge, phone charger (I put a power outlet in), with room left for my helmet, plus leather and other gear when the weather calls for it.

Trunk, Daily Rides: Tire tool, tool kit, 1 extra gallon of gas and an extra quart of motor oil (Old Harleys leak a little :D)

Tour Pac, Long Trips: Same as above, but rearranged to accommodate a small travel bag.

Trunk, Long Trips: Same as above, but add an additional gallon of gas (never trust a 32 year old gas gauge :D) and quart of oil, and another travel bag.

Anything else I may need goes in a pack tied to the rear seat (wife doesn't like to ride) and/or in a removable barrel bag tied to the rack on the Tour Pac. Basically, ten pounds of dookey in a five pound bag!

PEACE and ride safe! :Dorag:

That's Ballsy!! (Wave) My hats off to ya.

 
In my trunk I carry a Cruz HD tool kit ($32)https://www.denniskirk.com/cruz-too...skhd.p283723.prd/283723.sku?ad=81088990128187 I have not found a better small kit for a Harley. I added some various cable ties & a roll of electrical tape.

I have a small charging kit to recharge anything. I have a HD 12V plug mounted on the front wall that's hot all the time. The kit has a 4' USB/mini USB charging cable & a 12V USB plug with 2 USB ports.

A small spray bottle with Lucas Speed Wax & a micro-fiber towel.

It also has the owners manual & some paperwork.

Spare gloves & 1 of those universal bungee nets to secure anything.

Also, a disk brake lock & reminder cable.

I don't carry the air shock pump unless I going a longer distance. I am pretty much done playing with the shock air pressure.

Trunk... helmets,rain suits,bag of old man stuff( Alieve,Ibprohone ect). And one item that is a must a roll of TP
 
I recently added this to my trunk just in case I run out of gas. I can either get gas from another bike or really any other vehicle. I keep a gas can in my truck. I hauled my TG to Sturgis this year and on the way home I came very close to running out of gas in my truck. Yes, I could of unloaded the TG run to the gas station, get gas and bring it back. But, I thought what if I had one of these and a gas can? I had plenty of gas in the TG. So, I bought the pump and my truck will always have the gas can in it. I may even add the small gas you can stow in the Tour Pack or trunk.

WOW! do you people really have all that stuff in the trunk/tour pac - - ALL THE TIME as the OP originally asked????????

I can see most of that stuff on long trips, but not on local rides. isp = lawn chairs??? really. Use them at long stop lights?? LOL

I carry just about everything mentioned above and more on loooong trips.

I made a preprinted list that has every conceivable item that may be needed for a long extended trip. That way I NEVER leave home without something I may need. Actually all you really need is a credit card and cell phone. :)



Normal every day items always on the bike.

Trunk= tire repair kit with engine pump, first aid kit, tool kit, sweat shirt in vacuum bag(very small space, rain suit in compression bag, syphon hose, wasterless hand cleaner.

Tour Pac= flash lite, plastic ties, ziplock bag with salt packets, AMA Roadside Asst. card/regist. card/insurance card, couple dew rags, sunscreen, H-D swiss army type tool kit, small assortment of fuses, extra E.A.R. plugs, extra pair of sun glasses and readers, cell phone(never use it while riding), book for ABC contest, I-Pass, sometimes a baseball cap.

Saddlebags= eye drops, chap stick, 2)disk locks, couple micro fiber cloths, mileage log book, camera for ABC contest.

That's all folks. Mostly little things which leaves lots of room for shopping or emergencies. :D
