go back to your dealer, all the fairing bikes should come with a tool kit. sparse that it may be.... but it's an 89 dollar item, you paid for it, you should get it.

The most important item in my tool kit is an airline bottle of Jack Daniels. Cause if and when my bike does not do what I want it to this will calm me down enough to be able to fix it with out killing someone.

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.

Thanks for any input you can offer.

Cheers, Mark

When I bought my bike I was told, back when Harley's needed a tool kit you did not get one. Now you really don't need a tool kit and you get one. That was from the guy at the stealer. I have not had to use the tool kit on my bike but did on a friend of mine.

Don't forget a First Aid kit! Hope it's never needed but a must have in an emergency situation.
