Lost a throttle cable on a run this weekend. Was close to a shop so was no real problem. Got me to thinking though. What would you guys include in a best all around tool kit, unless of course they already sell one. My RoadKing has some metric sht on it I think, don't really know because I rarely turn wrenches.
snap on makes a harley kit nice but they are very proud of it.add a pair of vise grips that have a cutter inside the jaws and a small bundle of wire u can use it to tie up all kinds of stuff.or clamp on the vise grips to use as a shifter.

I just finished the 1,000 mile service on my Ultra and found out that the bike is a mix of SAE, metric and Torx. It seems to have more fastener standards than a 1960's Triumph; well, not quite.
Skipper - Not sure what kind of bike you ride, but I have lost several cables in the past many years. I carry one in the bottom of my tour pack. It's a cheap insurance policy while out on LONG trips. Local rides not so bad there are planty of friends with trailers.
My tool kit has way toooo much stuff in it but ya never know what can happen. It's a mixture of old parts and extra tools out of my tool box.
