They are ideal for storing clothing and food as they are water resistant - some are fully water-tight. When fitting panniers you may need to reposition the turning indicator lights.

A motorcycle accessory advisable for comfort on long trips would include a saddle-cover, sheepskin or plastic.

A tank bag attached to the top of the fuel tank is handy for personal items which need to be taken with you when the bike is left unattended. The bag clips to a fame which fits over the tank. Some tank bags have a clear section at the top to put maps under for easy reference.

A fairing reduces buffeting. In hot weather only a top fairing is required. In cold weather a fairing which also covers the legs is desirable. A bike without a fairing should be limited to short or slow-speed journeys.

Additional lights are needed for night riding. They must not be so powerful that they jeopardise the motorcycle's electrical system.

Fuel and Oil

Calculate the distance your motorcycle will travel on a full tank of fuel. Plan your journey so there is a reserve of 50 km between refills. It is unsafe to carry big quantities of spare fuel on a motorcycle. If you must carry fuel, use a specially designed container.

If your motorcycle will be due for an oil change during the journey, check beforehand that you will be able to buy the oil along the way. Do not carry any more than 1 litre of oil for topping-up. Lack of oil could cause the bike's engine to "seize". This can lock the rear wheel, causing the driver to lose control. If this occurs squeeze the clutch lever immediately.

If necessary, carry 100 ml of brake fluid in a tightly sealed container. Wrap the container in plastic and duct tape as it is highly corrosive if spilt.

A plastic bottle of non-aerosol chain lubricant is useful for various lubrication jobs.
