Default What do you carry for Tools?

I am just wondering what you carry for tools on your scooter? Not sure of what can really be done with a new bike if you really had a problem on the road either. Any ideas on this one for the people that have been running the roads and have the milage under their belt?

So far just the stock kit. Probably nothing else.

I carry all kinds of stuff. Probably too much, but I have used it mostly for installing new parts when I get a deal and am away from home. As far as motor repairs, you are right, not much you can do, but I have seen shifters and footpegs fall off. Nice to have a wrench and a little loctite at hand or the tools to change a lightbulb.

BTW the guys who lose footpegs have had their bikes serviced exclusively at the dealer.

I would love a complete list of what folks carry. Been trying to build my own set on the bike and always seem to be missing the tool I need when I need it[sm=confused06.gif]

Cell phone and HOG roadside assistance card. Best $20 per year investment there is.

I figure one of the best things is the multi function screw driver that cam with the bike.

Some other things I have thought of:
Zip Ties
Electical Tape
Duct Tape, maybe
A hose clamp or 2, 1 or 2 small ones for fuel line, and maybe a larger one
A pair of wire cutters
Maybe a foot or two of 3/8's fuel line
A bunge cord or 2

I carry this one. Just the basics in a tool roll. Long distance I add a fix a flat.
