Sorry OP, as this isn't a pic yet of what's in my bags, but I wanted to show you what I carry them in. I use the pouch set from Innovative Storage Solutions, and it fits right into the groves at the bottom of the saddle bag so it really takes up very little bag space. They sell full tool kits, but you can get the bags empty and compile a nice tool set much cheaper. Here they are: https://www.storagepouches.com/produ...4-pc-pouch-set

Modern day motorcycles, even Harleys, are pretty reliable these days, a good pre-maintanence routine can keep on road break downs to a minimum. I just carry the basic tools I need to do minor repairs or get me to a place for bigger repairs. A couple of adjustable wrenches, multi screw driver, vice grips, torex/allen wrenches and zip ties to name a few. If I don't have enough tools, CAA/AAA and a credit card.

I've had enough wrench time on my bike the past two months. Your experience needing every tool you had on that bike-eating route re-enforces my decision to nix the haul road from my trip.
My initial decision to cut it was made after watching a bunch of videos on it, and hearing two riders comment "why did we even do this?" Because the destination wasn't worth the effort in their minds. "Because it's there" isn't for everyone
I'm glad to hear that you seem no worse for the wear.
