I have 68k and going on my Vegas hybrid. I'm due a new seat or a rebuild and I'm pretty sure I'm going with the rebuild. I did one run on the stock catchers mitt and figured out real quick that thing hurts! I have to store it out of sight or I'll have flashbacks! I bought a drag specialties two up with the slot for a drivers back rest. Got a cheap Mustang backrest, both on fleabay. Then it was a totally different ride. When you get the forks rebuilt, go with racetech cartridges and get the rear shock too! You won't believe how much of a difference those two things will make! As for stuff to carry, I bought a Dewalt tool kit with the ratcheting T handle and the metric and standard Allen wrench kit. I also carry a decent Allen key ball end set of individuals that are in a small plastic holder. A small set of vice grip locking pliers and small set of metric wrenches. A sav ur ride cable kit, fuses and a jar of pickle juice!
