It just looks better face it, those cargo racks and those saddlebags they sell just hide the beauty of the ass end of the bike.

First pic. What you need.
Extra 415 chain & master clips.
28 - 32oz extra fuel. (Old Gatorade bottle)
Funnel made from an 8oz Gatorade top portion cut in half. Fits perfectly in gas tank gas cap opening.
Spare tube & Tire.
Tube repair kit if you have the patience.
Should first have extra steps in your tires for flat protection. LoL
Tool bag:
Tools for every nut, bolt, screw &speciality fasteners. "Needle nose pliers"
Zip ties.
Nitrile gloves.
Mini air pump.
Tire removal gear including stem puller.
I have a ratchet &the appropriate size nut attachment for wheels.

Rain suit. Frog Toggs best
Windbreaker
Duck tape
Rags
Bike cover

Second pic just for fun

I disagree on the looks part, but I will vouch for the Frog Toggs. They handle 60-70mph on the highway in the rain no problem, perfectly dry underneath, and a quick shake gets most of the water off them so they can be stowed right away without dripping everywhere. Also cheap!
