I'm sure this has probably been done before, but I was double checking my motorcycle tool kit. I made a list of all the torx, hex, wrench and sockets that I have and I cross referenced with the tools that come in the cruztools RTH3 Kit.

Here's my list for my bike but this may help some of you. I use to carry these tools on my battery bag, but it got too heavy and started to sag. So I now I have them on a fork bag, ready to go on long trips only. Plus I like to have the tools I usually need handy and ready to go.

(Sidenote, the cruztool RTHE kit is pretty good. In my case however, I had most of what I needed already and it was cheaper to simply by the few tools I needed)

Motorcycle Tool Bag:
Hex: 5/32, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8

Torx: 20, 25, 27, 40, 45

wrench (I use box end wrench sets to save space): 3/8, 5/16, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8

sockets: 5/16, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 14mm (I may get away with out the 14mm but it fits better in some bolts than the 9/16), 5/8 spark plug socket, and 1 1/8 for rear axle.

Other Items in my tool bag:
3/8 drive rachet, small extension, adapters 1/4 t0 3/8 and 3/8 to 1/4, crescet wrench, blue threadlocker (I hear nailpolish works just as good), 1/4 driver, needle nose pliers (great for pulling fuses). And spark plug gap tool.

Missing: 10mm wrench or 12pt socket.

The following items are in my battery bag (these are not heavy enough to make the bag sag):
locking pliers, tire gauge, electricl tape, racheting screwdriver with several bits including torx, and hex bits, electrical tape, and a flashlight. Also have my gloves, bandana, clear glasses, and knife. (If you look at my pic, these are the items on the right side)

My goal is to have all tools craftsman. I know some of you might have loyalty to different brands and I'm not going to argue which is better. It's just one of those things passed down to me from my dad. Dad used craftsman (and carried a buck knife) so I buy craftsman (and carry a buck knife).

Hope this helps someone, and let me know if I missed something.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

 

Nice list. Can;t believe you get all of that on that set up!

 

nice list...I can't believe you actually carry all that around with you. Cell phone and credit card do it for me.

 

well I only carry the tool kit on long trips. I like to keep the tools I've used in my tool bag so I can have everything in one location. Plus it's cool to come to the rescue when somebody needs a hand. Also sometimes a quick fix can happen faster than a cell phone and credit card (though sometimes there's no choice ).

On my battery bag I only have locking pliers and ratcheting driver with assorted hex and torx bits.

 

5mm hex- fork axle cap.
36mm socket, 28mm open end -rear wheel.
spare tire internal valve's.

36mm socket and 28mm open end for the rear wheel...are these the correct sizes to remove rear axle????...I've had to remove rear tire twice (once to replace bearing and once to replace tire tube)...I used 1 1/8 socket on one side and channel locks on the other...but the 1 1/8 socket could've been tighter...

I've never had to the fork axle cap so never had the need to 5mm hex so thanks for the heads up.

 

dyna models metric database.
put that in the search up the top, and it will give you the info.
as for the rear axle, i bought george's tool's 36mm ring spanner with a 1/2 inch drive hole in the other end , so i can torque the rear axle. ideal size for the tool bag too.
larger socket's tend to be 3/4 "drive. ok if your at home.
you can easily fill a small tool bag.
i guess a phone and credit card, can be a good option.

Good list! A lot of that stuff...you'll never use. But if you're like me, I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

For some reason, most of the time, my tools come out for someone else to use. Usually at a gas station, where they have been stranded.

"Zip-Ties" are your friend. Tape some under your seat or somthing. They come in handy.

Best wishes, and Merry Christmas....Tim(HT)
