What spares do you take when planning trips to remote areas

Hi would like to know what spares members recomend to take when going on long trips to remote locations, im going for a 10 day trip and expect to do 10 hours per day rides with no access to any dealers.
thanks,

I carry a spare drive belt, clutch puller tool. I also carry a spare tire on a rim, small bottle jack, small air pump and tire plugs and a torque wrench. I also have a small bag with tools with metric sockets to replace drive belt, tire; also carry extra fuses, etc.

Thanks Papa-t, I hadn't thought of the fuses, clutch puller or the torque wrench. I appreciate the answer.

Well I carry a cheap torque wrench (Walmart special) to check lug nuts and to use in case I need to put the spare on. Also Carry a couple deep well sockets for both lug nuts on aluminum wheels and the sockets for the standard steel wheel which are different sizes. I made me a torque wrench holder out of pvc pipe and a pvc screw top with a piece of foam inside on the bottom and in the top screw to keep it from getting beat up; and a solid bottom glued on with pvc pipe glue.

Thanks Papa-t, i have a soft tool bag thats well packed and attached to the tie downs on my rear esky so doesnt move much at all.
will start shopping for the extra items shorthly.

Same here. But I keep mine in my rear box.

A big thanks to everyone who gave me some advice on what spares to take, I have attached some pics for your amusement, thankfully i didn't need any spares for the trip and the ACE 570 went great 8 days at 150-170km covered per day used the full tank of gas each day.
I got to use the winch, which only took a couple of minutes to get me out of a bog.
Also tested the roll cage and it performed fine with only the rear brush guard needing to be pulled back off the body.
It also went fine through a few salt water river crossings 100 yards wide and up to 2ft deep.
Only damage on the trip was to the left quarter panel after a collision with a kangaroo at speed, didn't see it coming and scared the crap out of me at the time.

Thanks CS

What happen with the kangaroo? I have to say there’s probably very few people that can actually say they hit a kangaroo with an Ace. Glad your ok.
