January 8, 201511 yr Looking for somewhere on bike to store a spare plug and wrench. (maybe a few allen wrenches). Right now I'm thinking about behind number plate. Anybody have any other ideas? Pics?
January 8, 201511 yr Just use a small fanny pack. Also a good place for a bottle of water. I usually use a small one, but also have ready a large one prepped to go!
January 8, 201511 yr I used to do quite a few nationals that meant it was pretty important you carried a few spares and some fuel/water around with you. Best way I found was to slip the fuel bottle and spares into my mate Ralphy's ruck sack when he was getting changed and use my bum bag for my Lucozade bottle, got away with that for years.

January 8, 201511 yr Author I have a small Camelbac I use now, but wanting to put something on the bike to lighten the back pack. PLUS, I have two boys, who don't use camelbak's, and I would like each of them to have at a minimum, a plug and wrench.
January 8, 201511 yr i keep a spare in the van, never needed one at an event in 25 years. i replace my plug once a year wether it needs it or not. rob
January 8, 201511 yr I have a zip up soft sunglass case zipp tied behind my number plate, its big enough for a small screw driver and some allen keys plus I keep my lanyard in there when transporting the bike.
January 8, 201511 yr I reworked a plug spanner to be smaller and bolted it (with wing nut) behind the front plate, other tools (multi tool and accessories) are in my camel back. Out of 6-9 riders on a Sunday ride, I'm the only one with any tools or spark plug. It's amazing how much one can get for a spark plug and tool hire when in the bush 2km from the cars.?. Cheers Taff
January 9, 201511 yr I once made a small aluminium case a bit like a silencer and fitted it in same place as silencer on opposite side of bike. I think some bike had this a standard but I can't remember the make, may have been a trail bike rather than trials. Mont 348 was best, proper toolbox under seat. Edited January 9, 201511 yr by dadof2
