Impact Driver can be useful on things like fork oil drain plugs. And other stubborn fastners.

Manual is a must and good torque wrenches. My first bike I adjusted the valves and snapped a valve cover bolt because of crappy torque wrench .

HD's belt tension measuring tool.

But, make the HD Service Manual the first thing you buy for your bike.

Here's the Belt Tension Tester Tool from HD. Or from Chicago HD at 20% off.

If you had a pre-'08 bike, you'd also want to have a 1/4" 12pt. socket or 1/4" combo wrech to remove the pad pins in the brake calipers.

A multi-tester meter is also helpful when/if you have any electrical issues.

Blue Loctite, anti-sieze, brake cleaner among the miscellaneous chemicals that are handy to have.

But buy the HD Service Manual first.
