  Here are some added goodies which I have installed on my Hon.
  VF1000R that might be usefull on your machiine;

  BMW tire repair kit - This kit is for tubeless tires only!. It 
  consists of rubber plugs,glue,inserter tool,and CO2 cartridges.
  It takes up little room or weight. I duct taped it inside my 
  lower fairing. It costs about $20.00

  Moped Tire Pump - This is a small tire pump wich I use to adjust
  my air suspension. They cost about $5.00 and can be stuffed in
  various parts of your bikes physical being.

  Pen Flashlight - Once I dropped my key while trying to insert it.
  It fell deep into the guts of my fairing at night time.The pen
  light solved my problem. Costs about $2.00

  Spare Headlight Bulb - After bumping up my halogen to 80w/100w,
  I wrapped the old bulb in foam rubber and stuffed it behind the
  speedo inside the fairing.

  Big Stick - This can be used at your own disgression for various
  reasons. I have found it quite usefull in solving problem sit-
  uations. Take note you people with motorist problems. It can be
  a better saftey item than flourecent clothing.

While traveling I have always felt more secure with a nice big tire
iron within easy reach.  Unfortunately around town it's not so 
practical (esp. without a fairing).
