What sort of spares have you got for your bike(s)?

[Phreak]

Decided to have a bit of a clean up of my garage this afternoon, discovered I have a LOT of spare parts for my bike, but not the ones I need!

List as follows:

Frames x2
Subframe x1
Wheels (front and rear) x1 each
Battery x1
Fake air dam thingees x1 left, x2 right
Wiring loom x1 (the original)
Grips x3 pairs
Seat x1 (front)
Triple tree x1 top, x2 bottom
Clip-on's x1 left and right
Brake discs x2 front
Brake pads x4 front
Brake lines x1 full set (unbraided)
Engine casings x1 right
Pilot jets x4 stock
Hoses, clamps, nuts, bolts, etc etc... x100(ish!)
plus a few ice cream containers full of other crap that might come in handy at a later date...

Still waiting on my new fairings to turn up, only part I need that I don't have yet to make my bike complete again!!! Grrr!!!

Anyone else have a similar look in their garage / workshop...?

Pretty sure i could just about build another TLS with the bits ive replaced with aftermarket or bought for no good reason.

Oh Yea, Na...:wacko: i think I'm probably like a lot of people here, i managed to build an entire bucket racer out of the spare parts sitting in the shed...;) and there still heaps of crap left:facepalm:

Ive just had a huge clean out of XT bikes and parts and 2 bike lifts ,and still have a heap of parts for the current project bike as well as a maybe pile of spares and some CBR parts and daytona parts mainly lights now

But its nice having space for the new bike lift.

I managed to buy a wreckers lot of parts for my CBX. All of a bike that had only done 7000k. Mint parts. Carbs like new etc. Also spare wheels, wiring loom, tank, footsets, seatpan, battery box, plastics etc.

All going to her new owner.

trust me that enough gear to build a matching trailer.

Dude, just get another bike (same model and colour) and share your license plate/rego between them.. as already pointed out.. your spares are well over stocked. (unless you are racing the bike).

[Maha]

Spares?..nothing, its brand new.:eek5:
And come 2014 I shall buy another.:banana:
No time for spare crap laying around...;)
Wheres the skip?:2thumbsup

[avgas]

Spares, I don't even have a complete bike yet....
still missing :

- Fairings
- Headlight bolts (currently using cable ties)
- proper indicators (curerntly using fairing ones once again cable tied on)
- 1 x swingarm connector bolt
- 2 x road legal tyres

[Gremlin]

None... I find out what I break on the bike the hard way, and replace straight from dealer (so far under warranty) :2thumbsup

[Oakie]

Spares? I've got a spare helmet. I had a spare indicator but used it a year or so back. Got some oil.
