<><><><><> <><><><><><> gillwrig, I don't carry spares on my trips as I make sure they are tight before I depart. And I take the time to check them sometimes during the trip if I have a concern. If I was going to carry some spares I think I'd look at the stuff that falls off and get a few that will fit ones that want to go missing. Places I'd consider would be side covers, battery hold down, fairing and radiator shroud mounting hardware. I think a hacksaw would be over kill but a guy could carry a hacksaw blade or 1/2 of one and hold it in a vise grips if needed. I like having JB Kwik, radiator stop leak, duct tape and stainless steel safety wire available on a trip. Those are items I seem to use. Well, not the radiator stop leak but if I didn't carry that I'm sure I would need it. : ) Best, Jeff Saline ABC # 4412 South Dakota Airmarshal Airheads Beemer Club www.airheads.org The Beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota 75 R90/6, 03 KLR650, 79 R100RT
