Default Tool Kits for Harley

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.

I put a craftman's torx set in mine, under 20 bucks, portable foldup ones, looks like a leatherman tool.
