Universal wrench
I picked up this great wrench from Sears that is good for carrying with you while traveling. It fits many SAE & Metric nuts/bolts. Ranges from $8.99 to $20.00 and from Craftsman.

If it won't strip bolts and it'll fit into tight spaces it looks interesting enough to carry on the bike.

Looks neat.
But my experience has been that it is difficult to use most universal tools.
Access is many times limited by the shape of the tool.
Most bolts/nuts have an obstruction that requires a socket or open end wrench.

Save your money. Avoid gimmicks. You might find a few fasteners on your bike that the tool fits. Just don't expect to actually be able to do an emergency repair.
Instead, put together a compact tool kit specifically designed to fit the accessible fasteners. It will no doubt be a combination of Torx and hex keys, some sockets and open end and combination wrenches, and a few other tools.

Good advice. Keep in mind getting the bike to he nearest dealer or home. Zip ties and duct tape or rope help hold things together. I once saw a fella lose his shift lever, I don't know what you would do there. Maybe vise grips?, but they would chew the shaft up.

I'm a sucker for all the newest gadgets. Got a whole drawer in my tool box loaded with the latest and greatest. All pretty much in brand new condition !! Hardly ever use them over the old tried and true.
