Tools?

A big hammer and a big screwdriver and you can fix anything!
I agree with the Devil Dog; Torx and Allen are a must. Buy quality or you will round the points. A couple of small adjustables and vice grips in the tool bag. A set of good Craftsman, Kobalt, or SnapOn 6 and 12 point sockets and wrenches in the garage. Keep a multipack of zip ties, some small hose clamps, shop rags, duct and electrical tape on hand. Cargo straps are a must. A motorcycle jack (not Craftsman) that has the proper adapter for your bike. Actually like the small block stand that fis under the frame. Takes up less room in the garage. Every time you go to work on the bike, you'll be running to the store for a new tool.

A good quality inch pound torque wrench is a good thing to have also.

I have the rare, and discontinued Snap On HD tool set for the TC88, it's in a zip up leather binder, with elastic things to hold all the tools on the inside. I bought it about 10 years ago, and I didn't even have a big twin.
IT's really nice, and has just about any tool you'd need for doing any repair that you COULD do on the side of the road. I mean, you couldn't rebuild the top end on the freeway lol, but it does have basic repair tools. I carry that around, and it's helped me out a few times.
