hate to sound like i am pushing harley brand but thier 8 in 1 screwdriver (made by snapon) is the one thing I have on every bike. it has flat phillips and torx bits in one handle.
I also carry a small adjustable wrench , small vise grips , 3/8,7/16 1/2 and 9/16 wrench and a set of allen keys, one of the free harbor freight flashlights. not really tools but also a roll of electrical tape , a assortment of fuses , a piece of insulated wire, and piece of mechanics wire , and a spare tailight bulb, and a few zip ties

this is the one I have. I dont think you could buy everything seperate for that.
I was on a trip this sunday and had to get into the tool kit twice. Once someone needed some electrical tape, then we had to load a bike due to a sick rider and had to remove bolts holding a truck tool box in place. I'm not a wrencher anyway, but It's a little bit of piece of mind.

You could use these pouches to store the tools. Goes in that dead space at the bottom of the saddlebags.

Band clamps?
While on this subject, I know a few mentioned carrying extra fuses, bulbs, etc. Has anyone needed to carry a spare headlight bulb? Or an extra quart of oil or other miscellaneous emergency rations?

I check oil before I leave. If I need a quart it's probably not a side of the road thing

I carry a slime compressor and a mushroom plug kit. I have used it on mine and several others while riding out in the middle of nowhere. I have a carhart tool roll that has most of what others have described here. Make sure you get an allen for a ratchet that is long enough to loosen and tighten the bolt on the front inside gear lever of the shifter shaft. They come loose often. Also, if you need to remove the front wheel for any reason you need a 10mm 12pt socket for the brake caliper. I disagree that you can't do much on the side of the road. We have loaded bikes in the back of a farmer's pickup and had parts overnighted to the hotel to fix it the next day. It saved a week of riding in a remote location. No shop within hundreds of miles.
