Ive got, two small bags (fork bags, came with my bike), in them I have new set of plugs, couple of red rags, mechanics gloves, length of 550 chord, couple 6" cresents, a pair of slip joint and needle nose pliers, multi-bit screw driver, 16oz short handle ball-peen (casue you never know).
Dont kown what else or things I plan to add; electrical tape, zip ties, extra wire, few wire nuts, maybe a set of vise grips.
Initally when I set them up, I wanted to put in an old ratchet and spark plug socket, but the fuel tank pet **** is in the way and theres not enough room to get the socket on the rear spark plug. Thinking of finding and old socket and maybe working it down on my lathe to make it work.

Not to mention I've saved a few other people with my tools. They had cell phones. They had credit cards. But they wanted to keep riding.

I carry a cell phone as well, but there are things I can do on my own with out bothering others and ruining a nice day of riding waiting for a tow, all because I choose to bring a few things along just-in-case.

Most of my tools were used to help the fools.
