A cell phone.
No I'm not kidding, I haven't figured out what else.
But I might consider putting in a drive belt patch and a spare pair of plugs w/plug wrench.

Well, it depends of how far are you going to go, but a good starting point should be to look at any of the tool kits for harley that are in the market (as example, Cruz Tools), and get it or prepare a pack with the tools this kit have. This should be a good kit for a weekend, but if you go more far, take with you everything you can

Regards,

I am also interested in a set of tools to carry. Can anyone comment on the quality of the CRUZ tools., or is it better to put your own set together.

I've got saddlebags, so I take everything; wrenches, screwdrivers, sparkplugs, bulbs, jumper cables, oil filter wrench, oil, tire gauge, extendable magnet, flashlight and so on.
