Harley has a very good packing list on the web site.&nbsp\\;I have used it for the last 5 years and have not found anything missing yet (knock on wood).
Well, I gave up looking for the packing list on HD's site. A link to it would be nice.

That list sounds good in theory but for me there is no way I could fit all that stuff on my bike. I'm not sure all that stuff would fit in my Yukon! But it is nice to have a list of every possible thing needed and make a smaller more individualized list.

Old trick ive used,&nbsp\\; pack your oldest t shirts, and crummy underware, and throw them away each nite, , you'll no doubt buy some t shirts along the way, at dealers or events, this way, you'll have room for them,

Here's another list. It is for camping, but you can tailor it before printing.
