Tool Kit?
What do you guys carry as far as tools? A few of us from the firehouse are taking a road trip in a few weeks and am wondering what kinds tool you all carry?
Obviously a set of sockets, extra fluids, a torx set, allen keys. Anything else?
Thanks!

I carry the hd tool kit as well as a ratchet with a few of the common sockets, and a tire repair kit and pump. I also carry a small multimeter. But in all the trips I have taken the one tool I have really needed was a valve core remover to remove a bad core that was stuck down when adding air.

all jokes aside, I have a small zipper pouch that carries the small HD fold up tool kit along with a small ratchet, an extension, some sockets, spark plug socket, small assortment of allens, etc. never leaves the bike. I rode a chopper for years and kept the same tool kit in a fork pouch, always had to tighten up or fix something.

Cruz Tools makes some pretty good tool kits for HD's. I keep one in each of my bikes. Some dealers carry them, as well as online MC parts stores, and Amazon.

I just put some basic stuff. Pliers, tire pressure gauge, screwdriver with multiple bits, zip ties, and a few spare fuses. This is in addition to the supplied HD tool.

basic tools plus vice grips…when the throttle cable broke at the end of the grip I was able to pull it and limp home.

Look at Cruz Tools. They have very specific tools for HDs. They range from folding tools, to full kits. I have one of their folding kits and it is rather useful while on the road. And I think they are made in the US (I know for sure it's a US company).
