Default HD Tool Kit, Who keeps it with them?
I am just wondering who keep the HD tool kit that comes with the bike with them? I know they dont take up much room in a bag but from time to time I do hear it sliding around in there.

Well, my bike didn't come with one, but I did get the windzone kit off eBay and always have it on the bike along with other essentials......JD

The tool kit goes with me everywhere. I have added a few other tool and item. If it sliding around bothers you, try adding some velcro to the tool kit and the bottom of your bag... keeps it from sliding around!

Good idea on the Velcro! Didn't think of that. It doesn't slide around THAT much but I do notice it from time to time so I think the Velcro idea is great! The tool kit doesn't take up much space at all but was wonder how many keep it.

Keep mine at all times..and needed it several times when away from home for other machines. Great tip on the velcro, although I usually stuff it in the bag liner on trips.

I keep mine with the bike, in the right side saddle bag.

It doesn't do much good at home.

I take it on longer trips outside of the area or more than a couple hours drive time from home.

Was I suppose to receive a toolkit when I purchased my new RKC?
