Default Tool Set that won't break the bank?

I'm looking at this one ...

http://www.amazon.com/RoadTech-H3-To.../dp/B000O5WL76

Do you think this should cover most of my needs or does anyone have a better suggestion?

Check out Windzone on ebay. They are less expensive if I recall correctly.

hellfish,
If you go with that kit from Amazon, I'd toss a few cable ties, bailing wire and some electrical tape in there too. Of course, it's easy to keep adding stuff until you have your whole garage on the bike. Good luck with your choice.

As long as you don't buy Snap-on, you won't break the bank lol
I only carry a few tools on the bike, not a full set. Torx sockets, ratchet, screwdriver, allen key set and adjustable wrench. If I have to carry more than I need, I shouldn't be able to fix it on the road, know what I am saying?

Or carry the tools on the bike like this one.

I have the snap on set and it was very pricey like every thing they sell. But it is a very nice kit.

Craftsman has a pretty good tool roll for Harleys for around $40. It has most anything you would need on the road.
