Not much to look at, but those of you that have a RT know the hassle of replacing the headlight bulb. Slide the plastic tubing over one of the spade lugs, and now you have a "handle" to help put the bulb into its holder. Still a pain, but this does help.
What kind of repairs are many of you guys making with zip ties and tape?
Looks like almost everyone that adds to their kit adds them

Cool avatar, apexal. The moon is still up there but not the Old Man, sad to say.

Dear Apexel, (real name?)
Per: http://forums.bmwmoa.org/showthread.php?46055 - I've added the year/model to your thread title. As you realized, what works for your GS might not work for the RT - so hopefully more RT owners who have sorted this question out will open the thread.
And as the MOA often points out - a copy of the Anonymous Book is very likely to be the most important tool on the bike.
I've gotten to the point where I try not to obsess over these sort of things. For a while I carried a spare EWS ring on my bike when it still had the original. Now that it was replaced by BMW, I have the EWS ring in the cabinet at home. I do carry a spare alternator belt, just because it's small and fits well into the bottom of my tankbag, and it IS something I could replace using the tools I have on the bike. That means it will never fail since Eilenberger's Law of Spares comes into effect. (You never need what you have..)
Enjoy your ride.. and "Don't panic!"
BTW - afterthought.. you could try following Paul Glaves around, he carries a most excellent tool kit at all times (made use of it once at a national rally, along with making use of Paul.. made a good friend that way )
