What do you carry for Tools?
I am just wondering what you carry for tools on your scooter? Not sure of what can really be done with a new bike if you really had a problem on the road either. Any ideas on this one for the people that have been running the roads and have the milage under their belt?

RE: What do you carry for Tools?
I carry all kinds of stuff. Probably too much, but I have used it mostly for installing new parts when I get a deal and am away from home. As far as motor repairs, you are right, not much you can do, but I have seen shifters and footpegs fall off. Nice to have a wrench and a little loctite at hand or the tools to change a lightbulb.
BTW the guys who lose footpegs have had their bikes serviced exclusively at the dealer.

I would love a complete list of what folks carry. Been trying to build my own set on the bike and always seem to be missing the tool I need when I need it[sm=confused06.gif]

Cell phone and HOG roadside assistance card. Best $20 per year investment there is.

I figure one of the best things is the multi function screw driver that cam with the bike.
Some other things I have thought of:
Zip Ties
Electical Tape
Duct Tape, maybe
A hose clamp or 2, 1 or 2 small ones for fuel line, and maybe a larger one
A pair of wire cutters
Maybe a foot or two of 3/8's fuel line
A bunge cord or 2
