This is my typical long-distance touring set up:
Andy Strapz Expedition Pannierz (Andy has atrocious spelling).
OEM luggage rack with a swag tied on.
Handlebar-mounted 12-volt socket for phone charging.
Some magnetic tank bag that the bloke who sold me my old Ninja 250 threw in for free.
As you can kindof see in this pic I've also installed a taller aftermarket seat, this was essential for me as my legs are just a bit too long for the standard seat. Not pictured is the sheepskin seat cover that the previous owner of my CB threw in for free, at first I thought it was a bit of a snake-oil product, but it definitely makes a big difference on a long ride.
This is a useful product for refilling a punctured tyre on the road (or at home): [url=http://www.andystrapz.com/products-details.php?productId=166&productCategoryId=96&Level=1]http://www.andystrapz.com/products-detai...96&Level=1
I'm also going to install some heated grips which after far too many frozen fingers I've decided is essential. I might also grab a clutch/brake reservoir phone mount as I'm getting pretty sick of having to pull over every time I get lost, which is often.
I can't help but find myself wanting to install a screen to reduce wind blast, however I just can't reconcile the aesthetic cost. Sad
