Tie wraps,had my horn bracket break off last summer.Tied it back up good to go.

 

wow thats a amazing setup!

 

If you want a little less money involved, than THIS ONE should suffice very well.

 

My shifter came loose and was hanging just out of Atlanta one time. I didn't have an allen wrench to fit it but my vice grips got the job done.
Pliers, 8 in 1 screwdriver open end/boxed end wrenches. vise grips, tie straps, bungee cords and two LED flashlights. Oh, and an allen wrench for each thing that might fall off.

 

Yeah, I posted a link on here a few months back to it, when someone else was asking about a tool kit, and a lot of people are willing to spend 280-325 on the snap-on kit. I figure if you are going to dish out that much money, then I would buy the one I linked to, since it is made to fit in the bags without wasted space, and has a lot of tools for the price.

Like philip mentioned, the tie wraps fix the horn problem, which is a problem, if it hasn't broken yet, it may fail on you, as his broke, mine broke last year, and I know several others who have had their bracket break. When they fixed mine they put the newer and (supposedly) better bracket on, and it probably is better, as it has lasted longer so far.

 

you need the goods to tighten up your starter bolts...those bad boys get loose and your starter looses ground and you get key silence....

 

Cell phone to call the closest dealer to come and get it and a credit card to pay that dealer and to go to the closest bar after you find out what the bill is!

 

All good thoughts here. I'll throw out an item I didn't see mentioned yet -- some blue loctite. If you're fixin/tightening something on the road, you need some loctite on it

I carry pretty much everything mentioned above (I'm still working on the plumbing for a small kitchen sink in the tour pak though), but [knock on wood] I haven't needed anything yet except a phillips head screwdriver to change a spot light bulb.

 

THAT depends on where you like to "tour." If you're riding to Sturgis from "anywhere." your route will most likely run past an HD dealer every 60 miles or so, ( on average.) and lots of hotels.

But if you like to ride through say, Appalachia, where some of those folks have never SEEN a Harley, ( my flat tire was in Harlan County, KY...please Google it) then you're going to want to fix it yourself.

Harlan County was 155 miles from the closest dealer, ( Cincinatti,) and no one was coming after me on a Thursday evening on a road directly across from a coal mine no matter who's Credit Card I had. With the help of a cop, and rope and a motel 10 miles away...well, to make it shorter, wife and her friend in a Suburban with a UHAUL and a $1,000 we got out of there. ( You DON"T want to wait it out in a bar, trust me.) 2 Banjos anyone?

At any rate, I now carry pretty much all of the above plus an Emergency belt, ( 90,000 on this one,) and the socket to loosen the rear axle.

Headin' back to the mountains this weekend!

 

Wow, lots of good info, thanks guys for chimming in on this. I do like those nice fitted tool bags but don't think that will work with the tool bag liners, will have to look. The other day i wasn't at home and tried to tighten the rails around my hard bags.
Took out the Harley tool kit and nothing would fit, son of a **itch. Its time for onboard tools.
Some of you guys said something about a tire plug kit? What about AIR?
That reminds me, a while back, a friend loaned his bike to another friend because he had no trans for a while. When he had the bike he got a flat and just plugged it. He gave the bike back and didn't say anything about the plug.
A bunch of us met up for a bike ride, wife's and all. Well as soon as the guy with the plug and his wife took off, POP!!! Good for me, the guy who plugged the tire is not a close friend. End of the story was NO ONE was hurt and the guy who plugged the tire bought the new tire.
