Default Tools for the ride

I'm slowly making a tool list to keep in the saddles. If anyone's willing, please look the list over and tell me if I've missed something or an item is silly. Looks pretty large to me. I'm leary of things like the Fix-a-Flat. List too big? Missed a critical tool or item? All opinions welcome!

First Aid Kit Garbage Bags
Super Glue and/or Loc-Tite Lighter
Electrical & Duct Tape Cable Ties
Silicon Spray All-In-One
CO2 Tire Inflator Headband Flashlight
Permanent Marker Siphon Hose
Fix-A-Flat Small Pad & pen set
20-50 Oil Rags
Touring Manual

Screwdriver Set Small-Large Allen’s
Groove Piers Small Hammer
Open-Closed end wrench set Multi Meter Leatherman Knife Socket Set
Multi-driver Set Tire Pressure Gauge
Spark Spark Plug Gap

Tkx!

Definitely need a set of Torx wrenches. T-27 especially. Spark plug socket 5/8" will serve double service for plugs, trans, and crank. I also like to have a couple of pair of latex gloves, little space, but great when you need em. Other than that, looks like you've got things pretty much covered.

I also carry alot and looks like you got a good list +++ on the torx, baby wipes make good hand cleaners and for sure vise grips, standard and needle nose. I carry a set of jumper cables made for a m/c so they pack ok.
