Looking for advice for a newbie here. Interested in going out for some 1/2 day type rides. What essential tools on board do you carry? Any advice appreciatred, Thanks.

 

how mechanically inclined are you , screwdriver, pair of vice grip for some , half the tool box for others. The harley 12 in one screwdriver that has torx and reg bits and nut driver is pretty handy for most everybody and will do a lot for no space . some of the cruise tools sets are pretty complete and will do a almost anything you need to do on the side of the road. a few fuses and bulbs are handy , really just depends of how much you want to be able to do to it when on the side of the road.
oh yeah flashlight always carry a flashlight

 

Thanks Bob, I'll look into that HD driver set today and get a small mag light. It's a beautiful morning for a ride here in southern California. Thanks again.

 

10mm wrench (battery)
12 point 1/4" socket, wrench or both (brake pads)
full set of allens 1/8 - 3/8" and torx t-15 t-50 (everything)
