Default Portable tool kits...
There are a few extant threads on tool kit recommendations; however, many of them are a bit dated. Wanted to find out/ask for some recommendations for a portable, good, not "too big" tool kit for the road (think cross country riding) - my bike is a 2013 1200C.

Thanks in advance for recommendations/comments/advice.

I got this and love it. It rolls up nice and small and doesn't take up much room in my saddlebag.

Too bad harleys use metric and standard bolts. There has actually been a car built with just one non-adjustable tool, I forgot the name of it though.

$200 without tools or $350.00 with a handful of tools? Count me out. That is crazy. Cruz is the best deal going.

I agree. When I saw $350 I was like no way. You really have to look at the reality of what repairs you might face while travelling. If touring the ability to fix a flat would be top of the list. Second would be to be able to fix a burned out bulb of any type. If a person keeps there bike well maintained stuff like cables breaking won't ever be an issue and how many people carry a spare clutch , throttle/idles cables in there bags?

So for me a tire plug kit with inflator, Multip screwdriver with torx and regular. A couple different size adjustable wrenches.. and the best tool my Cell Phone. I put all those tools in and old Crown Royal bag and throw them at the bottom of my saddle bags.

As in my earlier post, I recommend Cruz. I have yet to hear any complaints about it from those who own it.
