What kinds of tool kits do you fellow Dyna riders carry and where do you carry them?

 

I only carry a tire plug kit and co2 for inflation. Keep it in the tool bag.

 

i carry a do it all and a AAA card

 

Good question, Prather.
Took the GF for a ride this weekend, hit a nasty bump about an hour out into the country on a farm road. She kicked the sidemount plate and lost the nut on one of the bolts. First fix was with a rusty nail and a beer tab, using the head of the nail to turn the bolt into the tab bent like a nut. This lasted about ten miles. Now dark, I was lucky to find a chunk of wire. That lasted about five miles. Then ripped some wire off the ground to an electrical fence, using a stone to twist it off (thankfully the wire was not live). This got me home.

Long story, short. Having even a foot of baling wire would have saved us a lot of hassle on the side of the road at night. Went straight to Home Depot and got a multi-tool and some wire to go with some other small tools I put together. I just need the tool bag now.

I'm thinking of hanging the bag toward the bottom of the frame behind the front wheel, seen this on other bikes and liked the look.

 

Thats where i hung mine..
Cant stand it on the forks anywhere..

 

See this whole thing could have been avoided with a set of Ohlins.

 

Built my own bag. Doesn't work on the forks very well, so I'm gonna fab a bracket and mount it on the chin.



Allen wrench set, foldup torx set, convertible screwdriver, pliers, spare headlight bulb (cushioned).

 

Co2 tire plug kit and a combo torx/allen set. Nothing else because I realistically don't expect to do any serious road repairs.

 

in my fork bag:

CruzTools RoadTech H3
a bundle of zip ties

that kit can solve virtually any issues that are capable of being fixed roadside

 

A large hammer and an f-bomb.
