Toilet paper
Something to plug the headphones into
My multi-tool got a lot of work before I lost it. I need to replace it.
I scrapped the pillow and just use a sweatshirt, jacket, or boot. If you have room, have at it.
A kit with wrenches, sockets, and allen wrenches in the commonly-used sizes. If you're lucky, you'll not use them much. If you're less lucky, you'll learn what other tools you need to add to this list in the future.
Sometimes I carry spare headlight bulbs. Depends on where I'm headed and the likelihood of passing a Wal-Mart or auto parts store.

Clothes
iPod
Cell Phone and Charger
Map
GPS
Aspirin
Immodium AD (ask me how I know this..)

and most importantly...

CAMERA

 

[Busa1166]

Extra clutch and front brake lever,


Hose repair kit

forget fix a flat and get the repair kit with the compressor.. If your bike is already wired for battery tender, connection is all set, if not it's a quick install for the connector.


Tools

 

[Gpmo]

I am curious about the imodium ad actually.

I have the iPhone and a nice camera on a laniard. Didn't think of the advil/aspirin at all. I have the stock tool kit, would this be effective enough? I do need to get a plug to charge my stuff.

I'm lucky that I will be meeting up with Russ1100cc for this trip and he has a bit of experience. . I will get to change my sig to "hi I'm Paul and I camped in russ's backyard".

Credit Card

I pack very light myself. I wear LDrider tights or shorts under my riding pants when I ride. So I pack a pair of lightweight pants and a shirt that is easy to clean when I travel. everything I have a can wash in a motel sink at night and it will be dry by the morning.

Yo breaf stank! Don't forget a toothbrush...

Maybe a rain suit. Extra gloves in case your first pair gets soaked.
Special batteries or a charger if your camera needs them.
A small flashlight with good batteries.
Is your luggage waterproof? You may want a few garbage bags to keep your stuff dry and for dirty clothes.
Some walkin' around shoes or sandals.

You do NOT want to get the trots while on the road on a motorcycle...

Take some metric allen wrenches and a flat blade screwdriver on top of the stock toolkit.

Oh, and take some cash. There are still a few little out of the way places that don't take plastic.

OMG what he said... It's an awful thing.

Good list of stuff. You can pick up a siphon hose at your local auto parts store. Bought one the other day for $6.

And Plexus.

I think it's acceptable. I mean it did come in via the mouth, was tasted... Just came out the wrong way.
