Default Allen Wrenches

I carry a few tools in my bags, but what size of Allen Wrenches should I be carrying?

A full set doesn't take up much space. That's what I carry.

Depends on what your riding. On my 07 it would be a waste since everything are TORX.

My 09 has standard, metric, and torx. Be nice if HD would adopt a standard.

What I do is annually or more often methodically check tightness of every fastener I can reasonably expect to need to fool with on the road, and make a list of the drivers. Then I raid my tool chests to outfit my bike tool bag from the list. Plus, I bring a credit card.

Buy and cary more than what the MoCo provides in their kits. I got a full tool kit with my 2012 FLHTC and can't pull a spark plug with what was provided. All of my jap kits throughout the years had nice workable kits provided. The MoCo still has some catching up to do........
