I am looking for a little advice. I have a 1994 Heritage Classic that I would like to put together a tool kit I can carry on the bike. I have a partial kit of Allen wrenches but I'm pretty sure I need more. If there is one thing that you might think is invaluable I would greatly appreciate any feedback.[hr]
I went to harbor frieght and picked up allen set torqes sets in socket and driver styles. Also a quarter inch socket set with standered and metric, plastic ties ,duct tape ,jb weld, sprk plug socket, Screw drivers,Pliers,vice grips.I put this all in a little craftsman tool bag that looks like a doctors bag (zips at top) and is sturdy. I got the bag for around 7.00 dollars. I got cheap tools that way if im riding and I see a biker stranded i can just give him her the tools to fix there rides themselves (some people dont want help from strangers i guess) But will help if they need it and dont worry about losing them. Hope this helps
Snap-on makes a set that comes in a zippered bag made to fit your toolbox. Dealer told me it would almost completely disassemble the bike. It's a little pricey butit's put together just for softails.
go to jp cycles and look at their tool sets. they will give you an idea of what to carry if your gonna make up your own. also if you do a search here i think there is a posting for tool kit contents to make up your own.
