Default Tool Kit

As I bought my FLHTC second hand I never received the tool kit with it.

I have read through lots of threads saying the standard HD Kit is not the best so

If you have to make an on bike tool kit for a Bagger what would you make?

what I think

Plastic Ties,
Bodge Tape,
Electrical Tape,
Adjustable wrench
Allen key set
Torx key set
Screw Driver with multiple types of Philips and Flathead tips
An amount of electrical wire
Light bulbs
Fuses
puncture repair kit
spare pressure air cartridges to inflate the tyre

New bikes suck. Very little you can do in the form of roadside repair these days.

Yea, I was looking for the spanner wrench to adjust the shock preload on my Dyna and didn't find one. Dealer has 'em for about $25.
I reckon HD did not include a tool kit to discourage working on the bike. Your factory installed tool kit is your nearest authorized HD dealer.
