In one of the panniers I carry a laminated photo copy of the MT's wiring diagram. It is waterproofed and doesn't take up much space.
A head torch can be handy.
Spare key.
Plus most of what Drifter carries.

I only go out with a complete set of MT riders.
At least one of them should be able to fix it. ;)

Whatever's in my tank-bag. At the moment a basic multitool and a bit of paracord.

On my Scandinavian trip it was a little more comprehensive - screwdrivers, sockets, adjustable spanner, allen keys, wire strippers, cam belt, spare tubes, araldite and tape.

Edit: and my ADAC card ;)
