Zip ties, a Phillips screwdriver, allen wrench for the seat, & multitool.
I think it's important to be able to remove the seat and battery cover. Zip ties to hold stuff together and a multitool so you have a knife and pliers.

You all are great! Some helpful ideas about what gear to carry and how to carry the gear in these posts.
Thanks to each of you---Hugh

I made up a tool kit to carry on longer rides and trips... Havent had to use it since i've made it this winter and the riding season just started but i got a cheap fork/tool bag and plan on mounting it on the front lower frame rails or on the left rear swingarm... A few wrenches, multi tool, e-tape, zip ties, allen, torx, and screw driver

Here's the tool roll I got! I haven't had to use it yet, but it comes with everything you need. The flashlight in it is a POS and swapped it out with a mini mag, but it fits perfect in a tool bag. It's windzone tool roll and put in a standard harley fork bag and mounted it to the bottom of the frame!

So far the only thing I've had to use on any of my bikes was some type of wrench to tighten a loose bolt or battery cable. And the Co2 tire filler.

I have a bit of a thing about toolkits and like to carry enough tools to be able to do pretty much everything I need to on the bike.
Sooo...I carry a set of AF combination ring/open end spanners,an AF folding allen set,a full set of torx bits,2 philips bits,2 slot bits and bit driver,mulititool,few 3/8 sockets,3/8 ratchet,C spanner,19mm 1/2 socket for front spindle nut,28mm 1/2 socket for back spindle,3/8 to 1/2 converter with T bar hole and 2 1/2 extensions to make long T bar so I can actually undo the spindle nuts!,as many spare nuts and bolts and zip ties as I can cram in,weighs a ton!
I usually carry a small punture repair outfit in my jacket pocket and if I going on a trip and have the bags on I'll take a spare innertube too,19 in can be used front or rear in an emergency and a hand pump.
I carry everything in this
Seems overkill but if you had every tried to call a breakdown service in some parts of Scotland you'd know why.

Roadkillvespa,
I like the canister. I was actually holding up my maglite flashlight up to the bike today in the same spot thinking that style would look cool, if I could find the tubing and match it on both sides.

Looks like a good little kit for the money. Half the price of the Cruz tools and looks like twice as many tools. And seems to fit nicely in the tool bag. I think I'll order one but add a Co2 tire repair kit.

I have two and tried one on each side but the right hand one was just a bit close to the exhaust.
My canisters came from the USA and are available from a company called Agrisupply for $4.99.
