Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Going to try a 24hr Border to Border ride in September and a 49 states in 10 days next May/June, so I wanted to get a little extra room. Found these from RotopaX http://www.rotopax.com/ . They have many different containers and mounting options to choose from. EBAY had the best prices.
The gas can is 2 gal. - there are other sizes as well
The black case holds 300 ci and will hold my tools and first aid kit.
They had pre made first aid kits, but as a Paramedic, I'd rather make my own.

Desert Hot Springs (Palm Springs area), CA | Nice! They remind me of the Kolpin setup I put on my TW200. Do you have a bag for behind you? I found a very cool one that fits perfectly for me. Here is a picture:

I have one very similar with the Victory logo that I got from this forums classifieds. It attaches nicely to the hand grabs.
I'm still working out what tools to carry for the trip. I'm afraid I might take too many ( too used to Harley trips). |

Akron Ohio area | <p>Where is your water? </p><p> One of the things long distance riders often overlook is hydration. </p><p>If you have read Rollin's adventures you know that even he experienced some hydration problems. </p><p>I keep at least 2 liters of water packed away in case of a breakdown and always buy 2 bottles of water/GatorAid at every fill-up. </p><p>I only have to use the bathroom maybe twice on a thousand mile day, so all that water was sucked up by my body which kept me alert and without muscle cramping. </p><p> Have fun!</p>

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Water is not in my first aid kit, it is on my handlebars and in the saddlebags. Since it gets used often, I don't put it in the kit. The sunscreen was only mentioned because I keep a small tube of it in the first aid kit, but I also carry a bigger bottle as well. |

Jax, FL | I reccomend everyone who rides to take a first aid course and pack a kit. The military gave me the opportunity to teach basic and advanced first aid. If it pays off one time, it will have been worth it.
