Harley tool kit list of items
#61
The usual plus test light probe, electrical wire, wire nuts, tape. Thus the “Sparkules”, got a group members AMF H-D running again in ‘87 out in the middle of nowhere with what I carried, jumped the ignition to coil off we go.
Also model specific, my 1991 FLHS required removal of the odometer **** to pull the instrument panel, which required a very small Philips, no small Philips no panel pull. I was 200 miles from home when the bike, running fine the night before, no power the next morning. Traced it to the “big red wire” under that instrument panel which had fried it’s connector. With what I carried, in about 20 minutes back on the road. Another EVO must have, cut down Allens for the rocker box cover bolts. Look your ride over, see what may require a non standard tool for a tweak on the road.
A good tire plug kit, and an inflator!

If you look back at my earlier response...#40...what doesn't appear is the small ziplock bags that I use to segregate small items, including sockets. I also put allens, torx, msc. nuts, bolts and screws, each "group" collected together and put in a baggie.Periodically, and especially before a long road trip..I empty my tool pouch, make sure everything is clean and free of rust and replace those baggies with new ones. They tend to develop holes over time.

Baggies definitely develop holes, that's why they are monitored and periodically replaced as needed. The advantage they have over anything else I've found is that the bag itself occupies practically NO space in the tool bag. When loosely loaded..They "form" to each other in the bag without taking up extra space, just for the bag. As must be apparent from my earlier post...my tool bag is packed very tightly already, no room for Crown Royal bags, etc. PLUS....when in good condition...ZipLock baggies are WATERPROOF...Crown Royal bags aren't.
To each their own of course.

Your concern is a crown royal bag takes up more room than ziploc bag??????
I don't care about waterproof, it is in a saddle bag. Might even be better if it breathes. While I have used bags, I am always little apprehensive of wrapping in plastic, beacuse it might rust. Though as long as you don't put them back in the bag when wet probably ok.
Again not against baggies, but I would like to find something permant that won't hjave holes and making mess when I use it in the dark on the side of the road. I am thinking canvas or nylon zipper bag.
