Tool Kit

Playing the odds. I ride 20-60K a year. Wife is with me space is hard to come by.
In the last 10 years, with well maintained bikes I have had two break downs. One Crankshaft sensor went out at 25K 2007. Dealer came got it fixed in less than two hours warranty.
Front wheel bearing failed at 26K 2013. I may have been able to get it a few miles to dealer but did not. Dealer came and got it. Back on the road in about two hours . Warrantied.
Go back a few more years I carried a roll of tools and never felt I had enough. Times have changed.
When you ride you are always playing the odds.

I too carry just about all the same stuff. With my 02 UC, only thing I needed at the time was a new fuse for the fuel pump. I agree, bikes are more reliable and with multiple avenues of roadside service for those critical times but nice to know for minor things, I can get back on the road.

Here is what I carry
Using these storage pouches that fit neatly in the recessed area of the saddle bag, they don't take up much room at all.
Pouches:

You can buy just the pouches, or buy completed tool kits.
I bought just the pouches and used my own tools.
I also added a tire repair kit.
