[MDairheads] The almost ultimate minimalist Airhead toolkit ?

[John Chevalaz]

I ride a '95 RT. That little box under the seat has feeler guages , extra set of diaphrames , 2 slightly used spark plugs, small bag or washers and nuts, and a cheapo analog multimeter. In a small cloth bag that i transfer from bike to bike is a mini air pump, a pair of short tie down straps,  tire plugger, multi head screwdriver, small vise grip.  If you have this stuff, hopefully YOU won't need it, but you can be a good Samaritan to the less fortunate.

 Add a 12mm box end wrench and feeler gauges.

Tire irons and tubes or at least patches???  Maybe it depends on whether you plan to ride beyond cell phone range???

A pair of those elastic gloves.  Do you really want yo put your now greasy hands into your riding gloves???

Ride at night?  A head light bulb.  Unless you took advantage of the SuperTech seminar and have already added relays and supplemental lighting.

And a hands free headlamp to look for the screw or nut you dropped.
