If and when you sort that out - post it! I've been having that debate with myself as I'm unimpressed with the H-D tool kit that comes with the Limited.

On the other hand, one can haul around a bunch of unnecessary weight in tools! I'm also unimpressed with the tool kits H-D tries to sell at an outrageous price at "stealerships".

I'm using the "spit and bailing wire" approach for now! Old School.

I probably fall into the too much catagory but I carry the following in addition to the factory tool kit.

Cruz tools H3 toolkit.
Cruz tools mini socket toolkit.
Slime compressor and tire repair kit.
extra wire ties.
