Some bungee cords,zip ties, electrical tape, adjustable wrench, 10m wrench to remove my battery and an allen wrench to remove my seat.
The handiest tool, if I break down while riding, is probably my cell phone.

Don't you know that you can rebuild a Harley from the ground up with just a rock and a stick??

Well, a shovel, anyway!!

Are those Boss Springer Bags? If they are, I have them on my FatBoy and I have the chrome right side tool box....no problems. I can take a pic with the bags on if you want.

I haven't got a tool kit yet but will probably go with the Cruz or Beza.

Yes I have the boss 37DC bags would be great if you would post a pic because thats the side I wanted to mount the tool box it must mount more forward than I thought.

The 2 times I needed tools my Cell phone had no service. Sometimes I ride to no-where land.

Talking

Depends on where and how far I'm riding: rode through parts of North Dakota & Montana this summer where there is NO cell signal, houses or traffic. Always an assortment of wrenches,pliers, screw drivers, electrical connectors, shrink wrap, wire, flashlight, fuel line, couple of clamps, quart of oil, headlight bulb, 9mm + clips etc. It all fits in the bags along with a weeks worth of clothes & a bottle of Jamisons for the end of the day ! The only thing I tie/strap/bungee on is my jacket & rain gear. (maybe sleeping bag: again, depending on how far & where I'm going) I would rather have it and not need it....

It's close but it fits just fine, does not touch the bag. I used the 64227-08 RH tool box, I got it off Ebay for 46 bucks and it was brand new in the box. Hope this helps!
