Word to the wise...I tried to help a lady change a tire on her minivan...she didn't have a lug wrench so I tried one of the sockets(spark plug wrench?) in the kit. It fit the lug perfectly but the torque to loosen the nut was too much for the socket...now, I have a rounded out socket. It wasn't much of a tool to start with...a good tool kit to replace the original is in the works.

I own my first Harley so this question is for real!! The sales feller told me Harleys don't come with tools and I believed him! Seems as tho' some do. Which models come with tools? Being I have been wrenching for many years I set up a leather fanny pack with tools with every thing I could think of even put bits of all kinds in a mint box . Makes a nice tidy package. HD web site under HOG has a nice suggested list of tools.

Not only was there no phillips bit or screwdriver of any sort in My 22k 08 RKC...there were no tools supplied at all, a 3 thousand dollar Japanese bike comes with a basic tool kit...go ahead fellas, tell Me I should have bought the 3k Jap bike, I know it's coming from a few of you HD is the best bike ever built guys.
Build your own tool kit....it'll be way better than the invisible one HD provides.

MOCO does deserve some blame
This is a funny argument. He is right the bit should have been there. he has a right to be angry about that but then again when he got the bike he should do as I do and go through an make sure everything is there and complete. at that time the dealer can make it right. But I am a guy who blames the MOCO i sued them for my tank slapper and they settled. Lots of people have gon after MOCO and won. I almost died so I have a right to blame them. and it is a freedom of speach gives him the right to an opinion just like it does you or me.
