I've also got a Slime compressor and a plug kit (won't help the spoked 900 Classics).

Good call on spare lightbulbs. I recently replaced ALL of my lights, but spares for the headlight/spotlights are always good to have.

Also, for those who don't do their own work, I would suggest getting the service done before the June forum ride.
With my riding club, we've had two ride-ending failures (fortunately both on the way home). In both cases, the bikes had been serviced by the dealer right before the trip.

Even for those who DO their own work... please give the bike a 200-500 mile shakedown run the weekend before we leave.
