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

    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...?

    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.

    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).

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

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