Road tools
I've been looking at this tool kit http://www.beza.biz/windzone/catalog/ek1hdand it has these items in it:
Locking pliers
Tire pressure gauge
Flashlight w/ Battery
3/8" Ratchet Driver
5/8" Spark plug socket
13/16" Spark plug socket
3/8" & 7/16" Open-ended wrench
1/2" & 9/16" Open ended wrench
5/8" & 3/4" Open ended wrench
10mm Combination wrench
9 Hex Keys/Allen Wrenches
7-piece Torx set (T-10 thru T-40)
Phillips #1
Phillips #2
Small Slotted
Large Slotted
Spark plug gap gauge
Electrical wire
Electrical tape
Spare turn / tailight bulb
I have many of these items but would need to get a few to make it complete.
For you road warriors out there, what is lacking in this collection?
Also, will a 1/4" ratchet do the job or should I just have a 3/8" and a reducer to 1/4" drive?
Thanks,

RE: Road tools
I would combine some things.
One good screwdriver with multiple tips.
carry a allen wrench to fit shifter, lights and primary.
carry tork bit for whatever normally a 10,15,27 (I think)
A wrench that fits rear axle nut and shocks.
pliers with cutters.
3/8 rachet stubby ext and 4". 3/8,7/16,1/2,9/16 deep socket and 3/8 down
to 1/4 adapter.
roll of black tape, 1/2 dozen 6 or 8 " plastic ties
test light and fuses.
flash light (harbor freight has a crankup one no batteries needed).
longer trips rubber tire plugs and a air compressor.
If you're really paranoid emergency repair belt.
find a safe place to wire tie a spare key just in case.

I have that tool kit and it's very nice. In addition I also carry a 6" extension for my 3/8" ratchet.

RE: Road tools
Go over you bike and figure out what tools you need making a list as you go, then go to Harbor Freight or similar and put together your own tool kit. It will be more complete and may even cost a few bucks less in the end.
