lol lol lol I asked the salesman same thing! I bought a v-star tool bag from flea market for $3, took off emblem and awaiting to find cool harley symbol or swatz pin to attach.

 

I just threw a tool bag on my front forks with the necessities and then put in some extra stuff for good measure. Trust me you want to have at least a few tools when you are 100 miles from home and need to tighten something down just to make it home!!!

 

sorry but, .
So on a related note, and just cuz I'm curious, what does every one normally put in a tool kit for longer (multiple day) rides? I heard compressor and plug kit, both of witch sound like a good idea if your going a ways out. Any thing else?

 

I put a wrench and extension with several socket sizes, pliars, allen wrenches,tire guage, small flash light, a tire patch kit and some zip ties. Believe it or not the zip ties come in handy. This is just for a small fork tool bag, I usually load a back pack on my sissy bar with a few more things for really long trips.

 

I make sure to have a quarter inch allen. If I'm at all nervous about the place the bike is parked, I loosen the handlebar bolts. Hard to push a bike with floppy bars. Harder to lift into a truck, too.

 

ok i'll stop looking! wanted to adjust my shocks but i'll have to live with it.

You don't have to live with it. Your local Harley shop sells the tool for adjusting your shocks for about $10.00. That is if they are spring shocks. If you have air shocks Harley has the little pump for $50.00

 

I bought a leather tool bag for the forks. By the time I filled it with all the tools I thought I might need, it seemed too heavy for the bag to hold when mounted on the fork. I put it in the saddlebags when I have them on and on the luggage rack when running around town. When traveling, I carry duct tape, several sizes of zip ties and a flashlight. I have spoked wheels, so don't carry a tire kit or compressor. I carry a can of fix-a-flat on trips. I you have a flat, dealerships won't fix a tire, they will only sell you a new one. So the fix-a-flat could be the only option to get you to a place where you can get help. Never used it, but would ride really slow after filling a flat that way.

 

Wouldn´t those tools be metric?
