The tool you will absolutely use the most is a set of allen sockets That was the first addition to my toolbox after I bought my first HD, and 15 years later I still use them more than anything else.

To carry on the bike, a wrench to fit the battery bolts and a wire brush to clean corrosion. An about 30' of parachute cord to be towed with just in case...
For the garage, everything everyone else has said + a wrench to fit the top fork plugs and a spanner wrench to adjust the shocks with.

I'd recommend quality Torx and Hex socket bits. If you try to go cheap especially with the Torx they will twist on you and you'll waste money. I have also started by the new ratcheting combination wrenches whenever I find myself using a particular normal wrench a lot. I especially like the ones with a flex head on them. I use one fairly regularly when I clean the air filter on my vance and hines intake. The bolts are on the back side of it making them a bit of a pain to get to with a regular combination wrench
