Same here. Occasionally I take an allen wrench to fit the handle bar clamps to play with bar adjustments. tp dd50

Adjustable wrench, a small ratchet 3/8 drive, deep sockets (just the common sizes), torx bits (common sizes), allen wrench set, snap ring pliers, extra headlight bulb... also have my leatherman on my belt and a cell of course. With those tool mentioned you can do a great deal of work to a Harley Davidson. Dont waste time with the advertised 15 in 1 tools, like the dogbone and goofy stuff like that. Just big bulky pieces of **** if you ask me.

Depends on whatever the last mod was... recently it's been a set of allen wrenches and a small assortment of wrenches to adjust my new fwd extension kit and footpegs.

and a flashlight

That looks like a descent thing to have. I have a small tool bag & that's the only bag on my bike, which is usually used for my wallet, phone, chew, a couple bungee straps & zip ties, but been thinking about getting another tool bag to actually put some essential tools in. This kit looks like it has most of the essentials.

+1 on the cell phone and visa card. That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw this thread.

I carry too much. Set of wrenches, sockets, torx, allens, lock tight, flashlight, zip ties, tire repair (just in case), one of those lights to test for 12V, spare fuses, pliers, spanner wrench for my shock preload, super glue, some duck tape, wire, quick connectors, tire pressure gauge (a must!) and my sig p220...

Went to harbor freight and went cheap - about $30-$40. They are just for on the road. I keep the good sets at home...
