I carry this. Good quality tools.

My '00 FLTRSEI came with actually nice chrome wrenches, etc, Really quite a good kit.

In addition I carry a small compressor, tire plug kit, and emergency belt, ( I'm pushing 90,000 miles on this one,) and an Allen socket set to pretty much get in anywhere I might need to. I also carry a 3/8" drive with a socket for the axles and spark plugs.

They all fit in a 12" x 6" x 4" vinyl pouch that I picked up. ( except the compressor and belt,) and a clear vinyl shower curtain to put down on the ground when working, or God forbid over my head in the dark of night. (Hasn't happenned so far!)

Everything I carry is something that I needed on the road at one time or the other.

 

For 30 bucks I picked up a 1/4" drive socket set, metric and SAE which also came with screwdriver bits and a 3/8" adapter for the larger size sockets from KMart under the Craftsman brand. This came in a handy nylon zip folder which has a slot for all the sockets and tools. I then added a small crescent wrench, the Craftsman electrical wrench set, every hex wrench I could need and forget what else. Then carry some ty wraps, tire pressure gauge and my shock pump. I tend to keep some of these extras that some may not as I often take my bike on extended work related trips. Oh, and of course a Leatherman...

 

My favorite tools are a cell phone and a credit card.

 

That's a fairly extensive kit of tools for the money. Thanks for the tip. I might pick up one of those. Then, I can put all my nice Craftsman tools back in the tool chest in my garage.

 

I 2nd the windzone tool kits, as well as a small first aid kit.
And if those don't work I'm with zfdtruckman and whip out the cellphone and creditcard :-)
