Default What tools do you carry?

Just got finished mounting a tool bag where the right passenger peg was and id like to know what you all carry. Anything special or not usually used but needed.

I carry a Buck multi tool. If you take care of your ride, critical fasteners and what not you should be fine. In this day and age a cell phone will fix just about anything or at least get you a ride home.

Well, since I do not have a tool bag ,everything goes inthe saddle bags. For daily commutes, I only carry a leatherman, flashlight and a tire pressure guage. Probably useless, but it's a habit. For rides out of town, I carry a sh^&load of stuff:
1 phillips and 2 common screwdrivers (1 large, 1 small)
two crescent wrenches (large, small)
vice grips
slip-joint pliers
snap-ring pliers (not sure why I carry these)
3/8 ratchet
6" 3/8 extension
3" 3/8 extension
1/4 ratchet
3" 1/4 extension
complete set 3/8 drive sockets on a "stick"
#27 torx bit
allen wrench set
7/16, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16 combo wrenches and a double (1/2 and 9/16 together) box end wrench.
spark plug socket
duct tape
rags
extra clutch pivot pin snap ring
extra plugs
oil drain/tranny o-ring

All this gets wrapped in an old military t-shirt of mine and bungee cord wrapped. Doesn't even rattle.

Crap, that's a lot I know. The ironic thing is I never need the tools, my buddies and their metrics always need something. Not for anything major, but they always ask "do you have a knife", or "do you have a set of needle nose...?" Funny.

I carry alot of the basics but just to offer my assistance on extras I carry: Tie wraps, fuel line and clamps, electrical tape, flashlight, condoms, needle nose vise grips. Hope you never need any of the tools on the road but i always figure if I don't then maybe I can help someone who does. Ride safe, Mojo

A cell phone, and a pack of gum, don't have room for much else.
