One small thing I've learned over the years, roll your clothing don't fold it for packing. It will fit in a smaller space and be less wrinkled when you take it out.

 

Don't forget sunscreen and bug spray. Have a small box of travel tissues for emergencies. Let her have the right saddlebag, it's easier to get stuff in and out. Me, I have a habbit of forgetting the phone charger, so it always is at the top of my list. Oh, don't forget the cash. You can never have enough of that.

 

She might want to bring a personal I-POD incase your tunes get old or annoying!!..Happy trails and have a Great Ride!!.R.W.

 

bring nothing and buy along the way

 

Pack cloths in space bags by American Tourister. Roll up cloths put them in the bag and push out the air. Packs in half the space, waterproof. Half way through your trip visit UPS store or who ever and send home your dirty cloths stuff you bought or won't be using.

All the tips here are good this one just works best for us.

We tried the 'space' bags, didn't really work for us. Rolling the clothes works pretty well.
We also ship clothers to our destination and send the dirty stuff back, but this really only saves 'wash' time. However, sending stuff home you buy along the way save a LOT of space.
Also, my wife and I use an all purpose jacket. One that can be used when it is cold, but then can be stripped down to a mesh as it warms up. Always take rain gear.

 

One trick the wife and use is to roll tight each day's complete wardrobe, socks, undies, t-shirt, etc. &nbsp\\; So you might have&nbsp\\; 5-8 rolls and it's easy to just take one out for that night and you have everything you need for the next day.&nbsp\\; Just a thought.

 

We&nbsp\\;do the each day underware, t and use 1 gal ziploc and use a roller duffle bag rather than the tour pak.&nbsp\\; I then can strap leathers on top separately for easy access and take everything into the motel with just a couple straps.

 

Most hotels/motels have laundry facilities either on premesis or nearby. This is a very nice convinience that we have used many times and&nbsp\\;cuts down on the amount of clothing you bring. Rolling clothes is definitely the way to go. It saves mucho room. I notice you have a rack on your tour-pak which is a&nbsp\\;nice feature to use with a small duffle type bag.
