Tool Bag

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

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...

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.
