Yeah, I know, a cell phone and credit card. But, could you tell me the most used sizes of wrench for those emergency repairs (for a '96 Road King)? I'd like to thin out the tool set before it starts to look like what I carried in the trunk of my '65 Falcon.
Thanks.

Bungee cords, zip ties, electrical tape and spare bulbs as well as a good assortment of hand tools and your good to go.

1/2" wrench/socket is probably the most common size on the bike. But I guess it depends on what you are working on.

Lots of Allen screws. Not very difficult to just carry a full set of allens. assortment of screwdrivers, rachet, extention, 1/2" socket, combo wrenches from 7/16 - 9/16.

Then of course, elct tape, duct tape, zip ties, etc.
