Tool List
I am sure some will think this is a dumb question, but so be it.
Does anyone have a list of should have tools for a Newbie? I have alot of stuff now but am looking for that, "Every bike wrencher should have....."?

Really Basic!
set of wrenches (combo - open/box) SAE & metric
screwdriver set
allen wrenches SAE & metric
Torx bit or socket set
3/8 ratchet set w/SAE & metric sockets deep & shallow
and most importantly the appropriate service manual for the bike!
All other "necessary" tools can be purchsed on a as needed basis!

One note is that Grainger carries a torx plus kit you should get.

Yes, a volt meter.
I have also found a Torx Plus kit from Grainger that works very, very well with Harley bolts.

10mm wrench. A must have for those battery cables. I always have a bottle of Loctite(red & blue) in the tool box for any fastener that gets installed.
