RE: tools
I got a toolkit from Windzone for Christmas last year which contains just about everything you'll need including electrical tape, and hand wipes. It's not as good as what I have in the garage, but then who wants to travel with all that anyway? If it is a major breakdown, carry a cell phone. Tool kits are for those smaller roadside repairs anyway.

RE: tools
If your looking for garage tools...
You can buy a basic starter kit from craftsman, a torx socket set (make sure 27 is in there).
Torque wrenches from sears $70 each for in/lbs and ft/lbs clicker type.
Toss in some anti-seize, blue loctite, tire pressure gauge, electrical tape, and latex gloves and you should be good.
If you are looking for on the road, I guess it depends on how much you really want to do on the side of the road.
I bought a cruz tools folding kit, and augmented with a couple extras.

RE: tools
I bought a "Champion" tool set at sears in a zip up pouch. Its made in China I suppose, the chrome is peeling off already. But it has allmost everything you need. Tire gauge, sockets, rachet, extensions, torx, allen, screwdriver, pliers, small flashlight, tape, and I added additional torx, allens to make sure I had everything. 6x8x2 and a lot of peace of mind. Flat tire I call for help, I am not about to try to patch a tube on my bike in the boonies.

RE: tools
Figure the sizes that you need, go to the local pawn shop and get quality tools for about .20 on the 1.00. Make or buy a pouch to put them and you are good to go.
