If a person was to dig thru their tool box and select a bunch of tools to take with them on road trips, What tools would they select?

It is awfully hard to beat WindZone toolkits for HD's. The HD specific kits under $50 and others with more goodies for more dollars....

RE: Tools

3/8 to 5/8 end wrenches, spark plug socket, 3/8 ratchet and extension, 3/4 in. socket(Oil and Trans Plug), oil filter wrench, 6" and 8" cresents, screwdriver, torx and allen set that will do handlebar controls, derby cover, fairing, etc., small pair of vise grips, small pair of channel locks.

I also have a single quart oil spout that has a shut off on it(Wal-mart .99) an assortment of plastic wire ties, and a roll of electricial tape, and a mini-mag flashlight. Might be some other stuff, but I'm too lazy to go out to the garage and look.

I can change all the fluids beside the road in about 15 minutes. I am very **** about such things, and when the miles hit I change, no matter where I am. Well, within reason. I change somewhere I can legally dump the old fluids. Most service stations and Harley Shops will dispose of oil for about 1.00.

Regards,

Bill
