So, with space at a premium, what tools do you carry? I'm new to this after inheriting a bike (Let me know when you get tired of hearing this, I feel like I say it a lot) and wonder what the necessities are?

 

Zip-Ties
Gerber Multitool
Tiny Flashlight

GM

 

Cell phone and a credit card.

 

I just inventoried what I carry, when I took my tools out for Spring. I have a bagger, so no way will you carry all this stuff. Pick and choose.

Deep 1/4" drive sockets
3/8 Drive Torx sockets
Combo Wrenches
Pens
Flashlight
Head band flashlight
4 in1 Screwdriver
Milton S921 Pencil Type Tire Gauge, 5 - 50 PSI
Collapsing magnetic wand
Mini Socket drive with 10 mm socket, and screwdriver bits.
Spare spark plugs, Gap tool
Vice Grip
Crescent Adjustable Wrench
Zip ties
3/8 drive ratchet, with sockets, and spark plug socket
Eklind Ball End SAE Allen Wrenches
Fuse puller spare fuses
1/4 IDx3/8 OD O rings for gas line quick connect
Spare Jiffy spring
Gerber Multitool
Spare 2032 Fob batteries

 

STOP AND GO PLUGS, AND A SMALL AIR COMP.

 

Besides basics I would add vice grips and wire plus some gaffer tape

 

Two cans of beer and a thumb

 

Lets just say I'm old school and ride a very customized bike , been packing this tool bag about 35 years now.

 

Nylons... A pair of nylons can be a very useful thing

 

And the winner is....
