Never carried spare plugs and never needed them. Istocked the tool roll with a mini wire brush instead.

I've ALWAYS packed a quart of oil (and have needed to use it at times) in the past. With the new one, I'm thinking I can leave the oil behind but old habits die hard.

Yes I do. My wife rides a 1200 Sportster which has the same plugs as my Street Glide so I carry 2 in my saddle bag just in case. Her bike has been known to foul a rear plug if we get into stop & go traffic. So it is just a little piece of mind thing.

Ride Safe,

Mike

I carry an extra set of .04 gapped Autolites in my saddlebag. If I don't need them, someone else along the road might.

I carry them also. Ended up needing them for the first time on my trip to Sturgis last year. Right at the entrance to Yellowstone, the bike started running like crap. Changed the plugs and hit the road. They really don't take much room. I don't carry a ratchet though. I use a pair of pliers on the correct plug socket. They shouldn't be in that tight anyway.

AH Memories, A master link and Plugs, never left home without them. Times have
changed and I do not carry a spare set since the invention of the EVO. Do change
them once a year if they need it or not.
