I have a snap on kit for HD, small 12v compressor w/ light, tire plugs, zip ties, anything more than that I have a cell phone and a trailer at home. I've been with a friend when his battery took a dump and the hog roadside assistance didn't do anything for him (3 pm on a sunday). Had to rig up a lawn mower battery in his saddlebag.

Hi Gang,
Just picked up my '09 Ultra. This is my first HD and I'm very excited about it. One of my first tasks is to put together a travel tool kit.
I'd welcome any information, suggestions or "must have" items for the kit. I'm also thinking of buying the small Stop and Go 12 volt air compressor. Is anyone using this? Is it a decent unit?
Thanks for any input you can offer.
Cheers, Mark
