Depends on what year your bike is. Is it ironhead era or newer. If newer,chances are you will never need much. If older , couple of spark plugs, roll of tie wire (comes in very handy sometimes), duct tape (this fixes everything) couple of screwdrivers, plug wrench,pair of pliers. Either a few different size wrenches or a couple of adjustables (1 small and a 12" incase you need to adjust rear axle). A spare link for chain can be a life saver too.

Oh and if older a qt of oil in the saddle bag comes in handy as well as a couple of rags. Use the rags to wrap tools.
