Default Tool Roll Overload?

Weight - 7lb. Contents - 3/8 drive ratchet; 3/8 drive hex bits - 1/4, 5/16, 7/32, 3/16, 5/32, 3/8 ball end long; Short 3/8 extension; 3/8 drive 12pt short sockets, 7/16, 12mm; 3/8 drive 6pd deep sockets, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8; 3/8 drive torx bits, T27, T40, T45; 1/4" insert bit screwdriver; 1/4" insert bits, P1, P2, T25, T27, straight bit; Small straight bit screwdriver; small slip joint pliar, small diagonal cutters, 7" vise grip, 8" adjustable; combination wrenches, 1/4, 5/16, 7/16, 1/2, 5/8, 12mm, 3/8 x 7/16 open end combo; air gauge; emory paper; zip ties.

Is this overkill for a 2010 bike? Sure would like to downsize to free up more space. I can do all maintenance with this (without proper torque) and remove or tighten most of the bolts on the bike.

More than I'd carry, but you do have it wrapped up pretty neatly!

If you are looking for ideas... You could go to a more universal setup like this:

Chuck the hammer and add and remove the needed bits as necessary. Use your own bag or wrap. Throw in a small adjustable, a pair of needle nose, a few zip ties, and some loctite. I think that'd get you through most roadside repairs.

Sounds about like what I carry. Added small flashlight and a couple of feet of small tubing to siphon gas.....

That looks about like mine, also carry a spare shift rod, and shifter with peg,
plus a kickstand spring, just in case.

That's about what I carry. Never thought about a flashlight.
