+1. I have the Windzone EK1-HD. I have used it few times myself, but not for repairs. Stupid things like messing around with a new gadgets etc, but I have loaned it my riding buddies MANY times. Just this past sat, one of my riding buddies mirror's decided to come loose and just flop around. Broke out the kit, and fixed right up. It comes in very handy. You can get it here:

This is were I got mine from and its less than 1/2 the price you will see it at any dealership or bike shop I've ever seen it.

Add to it another small roll of mechanics wire, some jiffy stand springs, blue thread locker, fuses, zip ties, and you be able to tackle most small (fixable) problems.

Nice kit by snap on but pricey. Then again you have Snap On quality.

Yep, great tools BUT LOTS of wasted space.
