Default Tool Bag

Does anyone know if the 2017 Road Glide Special comes with a tool bag like the 2016 RGS did?
Thanks...
Bob

Nope, no more but your not missing much. What was offered in the little bag before was not of much use. Before I traded my 14 FLHXS for a 17 M8, I kept my little tool kit.

Thanks for your response... I traded my 2016 RGS for a 2017 RGS and gave up the 2016 tool bag, being the nice guy that I am.
I now realize I should have kept it. I'm sure someone at the dealership has snatched it up by now!
I'll just create my own...

Creating your own will give you a far more useful kit than anything HD has provided in years and years. I put one together that's about 6" x 4" x 2" out of stuff I mostly had laying around that fits very nicely in the bottom of a saddlebag.

I've got two different tool bags. One is lightweight, with a multi-bit screwdriver/torx driver, three or four combo wrenches, including a 10mm, some zip ties, electrical tape, needle nose pliers, a folding knife, and some spare fuses. That's my normal kit. When I'm taking a multi-day trip, or riding with a group of riders, I'll generally bring a full tool roll, which has enough tools to do pretty much anything short of a full teardown. My larger tool bag began from a Snap-on tool roll, which I've added a few things to. I also include tire plugs, large zip ties for changing tires, and a can of engineered fuel.

A buddy has something like this http://www.storagepouches.com/harley...bag-organizers . I think they also come with tool sets, but filling with your own is a good idea. He use to use tube socks for his tool bag.

Similar to others here, I say make your own. As you tinker with your bike, you will become familiar with tools you may need. If it's something you use with any frequency, or deemed an "Emergency " item, toss it in there, and other tools will follow in the future.
My opinion, others may vary.
