Subject: Touring tools and spares


I have done no major touring on my AT yet but that will change soon.
What tools and spares are recommended for the AT by the experienced (or not so experienced) tourers on the
list.I hope to include  North Africa.

Im fairly mechanically minded but with an expensive bike like the AT I leave servicing to the garage.
What is the worst roadside repair you have had to do.

Is the standard tank size (RD04) big enough for touring in any part of Europe and North Africa,that is
if you dont get lost.

On the subject of intercoms,has any one tried CBs as suggested by Robert Rowe.I imagine without some
special filtering of windnoise the sound quality would be poor.

How do the Autocomm and HJC-90 perform with open-faced helmets.

Thanks,
Tom Hourigan.
