It just might help remind you of one item you may have otherwise forgotten.

Two Phillips screw drivers with different size heads
Flash light

I keep a can of Plexus packed, among your other items you have listed. Keeps sheilds, lights, mirrors clean while on the road. I also toss in a couple extra batteries for the flashlights just in case.
That's just me...

Looks like you might a trailer to haul it all.

At first I read this as "ANVIL"
Might be helpful for KiPass issues.

For the C10, it's a good idea to pack an emergency peg (i.e. a 130mm x 8mm bolt if I remember correctly). That way, if you end up breaking a driver's footpeg, you have a backup. The bolt doesn't take up much space either, although I put some rubber tubing and a washer on mine to make it a little more comfortable.
Of course, if you have tipover bars, your pegs should be a bit safer...
Also, a pair of needlenose vise grips is a nice thing to have. Among other things, they may get you out of a jam if you break a clutch or brake handle off near/at the base of the lever. In January, I had this very problem, and was profusely thanking whomever here recommended packing those.

Can anyone locate this story in cache?
I'm worried it will be too long and old to dig up.
Maybe its on his website.

This is THE best tool for making a list I've seen, totally flexible:

Wouldn't actual levers be just as easy to pack? And lighter?

Vise Grips are useful to begin with. Needlenose vise grips are nice for trying to hold that thingie that's in that weird space that normal pliers may not reach. The fact that they can double as a brake/clutch lever in a pinch is also nice, should you NOT have a lever on hand. That being said, a spare lever would be nice, but the lever won't double for vise grips, so you may end up with both...

FYI, said bolt fits inside a handlebar. It can also be found almost free holding the stem in the old rusting bicycle in the back yard.

Beer! There is nothing like stopping on a mountain road to soak in the scenery and just relax listening to the wind, an occasional hawk screeching, the tinkling sound of the exhaust cooling off while enjoying a nice cold beer.

Some Harley riders I know always bring along a chase vehicle. Came in real handy last week when 9 of them decided to do an Iron-Butt to Las Vegas. 2 broke down, but fortunately they were still under warranty.
I have not yet heard the rest of the story.

A couple of things I try not to forget when packing for traveling/camping.
Fingernail clippers. For various reasons I always seem to jam my fingers and split a fingernail or two.
Tweezers for removing splinters. Seems like an annoying splinter or two always goes hand-in-hand for me when traveling and camping.

Maybe bring some sort of mobile phone, maybe you can get a deal at work?
