Didn't your SG come with a rudimentory tool kit? My RG came with the FLT Tool Kit, but I opted for a more complete, better quality tool kit from WindZone the EK-HD1. The Snap-On tool kit is most likely better quality but does not look like it has a better tool selection than the FLT TK.

Tool Kit, heck who needs a tool kit. HD's are not supposed to break down. Seriously though, the tool kit that came with my ultra is pretty nice considering it is a stock tool kit. I used it for the 1st time the other day when installing my oil temp. gauge. I have never thought about buying an upgraded tool kit. Actually, I didn't even know they made one.

I got a Sears "motorcycle" tool kit as a gift over a year ago. Has nearly everything you need for minor puttering and was about a hundred bucks. great to carry along
If you intend to do more than the basics concentrate on a good set of tools torx sockets, std. sockets, couple good adjustable wrenches, and don't forget allen wrenches. The swivel head combination wrenches come in very handy in some of the tight spots on a scoot.

I got the Windzone tool kit off ebay that Tripper mentioned. It looks like it is a good tool kit. I took the one that came with my FLHTCI and replaced it with the Windzone.

I once read a tip that (If applicable) you should use the tool kit that comes with the scoot at home for repairs - That way when you find something that you don't have you can simply add it in there - After a while you have a nice little road kit put together - make sense?
