Default Bike Tools. ???

There used to be a time that when you bought a new Bike you got a set of tools in a nice little pouch....
Do they still do that????
You would think with the price of the bikes they would be included.....are they????

My '15 RGS came with a tool kit.

And, stupid me, I misplaced it in my garage while putting things back and forth in my saddlebags, and ended up buying a new one. Damn things are expensive.

And, sure as ****, as soon as I got the new one home, I found the other one...

Some bikes may come with a few tools, most Harleys don't. It's not hard to put together a basic tool kit. I carry a tubeless tire repair kit too.

I have a 2017 and it came with tools. Different than my 2014 like less of them but maybe it was just more compact.

Most Touring model come with a Tool Kit in a pouch. I guess is could get you out of a bind. I put together my own kit and keep it in the saddle bag.

My 2017 FLSS did not come with any tools. For that matter my 2016 Honda Africa Twin came with one tool. I think a 5mm hex wrench to remove a toolbox cover. But no tools...

My 07 Road King classic didn't come with a tool kit but at the price I should have gotten a full set of Snap On wrenches with gold inlay

I made jumper cables out of heavy duty lamp cord. Handy for those stupid times when I left the ignition on.
