Default Bagger tool kit?

Found out today new baggers don't come with tool kits. I just feel better with some tools in my saddlebag that give me a chance to keep limping along.

Does anyone have a recommendations for decent roll or kit that has a chance of covering roadside repairs for a newer bike? Thinking I could put something together piece by piece but see bunch on amazon and ebay but not sure which one to consider.

tia...

I've been carry a Cruz Tools Roadtech H3 kit for 16 years. Only time it's ever been used is when I lent a wrench to someone at a rest stop. Great thing about having one with you pretty much guarantees you'll never need it.

I prefer piece by piece to the tool kits that have most of it. Any tool that touches my bike for maint is on bike.

There is probably few tool threads a year.

If you pieced your kit together yourself, do you have them organized somehow, or just toss them in the saddle bag?

Now that is another topic. Wraps, pouches, ect. That may be more interesting that this that comes up every few months.

How to organize stuff to find it quick, or just dig out of pile

Either way you buy those store bought kits you got to add stuff, and organize.

Lazy way out, for guys who don;t know what their bike needs, cause they don't know their bike.

I freely admit I don't know my bike as well as I should, but I'm learning. I've only had it for 5 weeks. It goes in on Tuesday for its 1000 mile service. I've been debating whether to buy a kit or build one as I learn what I may need. And as an extension, if I build it, how do I organize/store it? So far, I've used a couple allen wrenches, 2 different size phillips screw drivers, a 3/8", 7/16" and a 1/2" wrench / sockets on the bike. My slip-ons required a 5/8" on one side and 15mm on the other for the main clamp nuts. That seemed odd, but that's what fit and I reused the stock clamps since they only had 11 miles on them.

I am using these:
https://www.storagepouches.com/harle...bag-organizers

For the bags only: https://www.storagepouches.com/produ...-pc-pouch-set/

They fit down in the recessed bottom of the saddle bags. They don't take up any usable space at all.
You can buy just the bags, or various levels of tool contents.

I just purchased the empty bags, and used my own tools.
Also, you can see I added the tire patch kit from Stop & Go

You'll never learn anything about it having dealer work on it. Cold hard fact.
