My tour Pac is always empty.I keep all my gear in my bags..Tools and extra parts in one,Rain gear and Extra clothes and such in other.
Pac is always ready for O'ladies purse,coat..ECT. or for quick trip to store...
Always wondered what most carry in there..... looks like mostly "everything you own",lol. I may get a tour pack in the future for long trips, but don't see much use for around town. I try to carry only necessities locally.
I carry most stuff in the saddlebags, leave the tour pack for locking helmets up, gloves, maybe some sunglasses. The stuff in the saddlebags is the stuff I don't need every time I stop, go in somewhere etc. I also like to keep as little weight as I can in the tour pack, not a big difference but I can tell when it's loaded.
A lot of junk I guess that my wife and I like to have quick access to.
Glasses, maybe another shirt, camera, Ipod goes in there when we stop.
Water, when it's hot outside, parts sometimes..
Groceries sometimes too.
It's a multi-purpose unit and it was probably one of if not the most useful mods that I did.
Tools go in the saddlebags.
I only put the tour pack on the 1990 for some of the longer rides, so its pretty much left open for some extra clothes and whatever i pick up along the way.
