I carry the kit from my BMW. My Honda came with a nice kit too, but the BMW kit is amazing...has everything and was standard.

Shameful that my $20 large Harley came with squat.

I always have mine with me, only needed it a couple times but it is really nice to have when you need it. Buddy of mine called the other day and said his sporty died and had no power, I told him to pull the seat and check the battery...he said he had to try to find a screwdriver somewhere first...that sucks!

If you put the bag liners in, you won't need velcro. Nothing moves. I put them on after a few months with my 06. they tools did slide some when they were the only thing in the bag. With the liners, They never move at all. I added a few things to my kit, to make minor road repairs if needed. You have to start with the kit, and add things as you think you need them. Zip ties and wire are a must have.

I don't leave home without it. On our last trip we worked on 4 different bikes with it, and even installed a set of highway pegs with it. Has quite a few useful tools in it.

Yea, I keep it in there along with a bunch of other crap. Added a bag full of tools,air compressor,shock pump,rain gear,extra t-shirt,a bunch of rags and hand cleaner. I am 1 of those people who stops at every breakdown on the hwy to help if i can even after having a large gun put in my face when i stopped to help a guy in a business suit. He was scared and asked what i wanted. "Nothing now buddy".
