If they are of good quality, I agree they can't be beat. If they are low grade they don't grab enough metal and will tear off the corners leaving you with a swizzle stick.

If they are low grade they don't grab enough metal and will tear off the corners leaving you with a swizzle stick. So whats wrong with a few swizzle sticks on board?

Condor Posted January 18, 2012 Share #10 Posted January 18, 2012 Bet the list came off a site like Advrider. There are enough tools on that list to rebuild an offroad bike.... Ride-On in the tires, 12vdc tire pump, minium tools, and a cellphone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabreco Posted January 18, 2012 Share #11 Posted January 18, 2012 Can anyone list what exactly is in Standard Tool kit that comes with a gen 1? That kit was long gone when I bought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted January 18, 2012 Share #12 Posted January 18, 2012 I have always carried a well-stocked toolkit on my bike(s). Never once have I had to use them on my own scoot but I've saved a couple H H H H ardly riders butts. Even helped a Winger once (geeeez, hope that isn't some kinda "omen") LOL Correction .... back in 1976 when I had my '72 Bonneville ... I had to pull the tranny and fix it on the side of the road once ... or was it twice? can't remember ... that POS was always breaking down LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted January 18, 2012 Share #19 Posted January 18, 2012 I carry most of this list plus several additional items. Off the top of my head, At least 2 soft straps. At least 2 ratcheting tie downs. Set of mechanic picks Assorted screws and nuts 27mm combo wrench Multimeter Leatherman Small ball peen hammer with cut down handle Complete setup to field bypass ignition First aid kit Nitrile gloves Various electrical connectors RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted January 18, 2012 Share #20 Posted January 18, 2012 add to the above listS .... Kitchen Sink!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabreco Posted January 18, 2012 Share #21 Posted January 18, 2012 OK...All Packed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRider Posted January 18, 2012 Share #22 Posted January 18, 2012 add to the above listS .... Kitchen Sink!! It all fits in the right saddle bag. Left saddle bag is for riding clothes (different gloves, heated gear, jacket/pant liners, boot rain covers, water, Plexus/towel). Top box is for travel clothes, computer, toiletries kit, etc. The only difficulty I have is when needing to pack an extra pair of shoes. These size 15s don't just squeeze in anywhere. I usually just pack the shoes full of my extra socks and underwear so they are not completely wasting space. If I am going for a 4-5000 mile trip, I need all this stuff with me. Most have never been used (except the clean underwear:smile5:). However, if any of the tools are required, and I don't have them, it is really expensive. If I am taking my wife with me, she gets the top box and I strap a bag to the trunk luggage rack. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted January 18, 2012 Share #23 Posted January 18, 2012 It all fits in the right saddle bag. Left saddle bag is for riding clothes (different gloves, heated gear, jacket/pant liners, boot rain covers, water, Plexus/towel). I'm the reverse of that. I don't quite carry ALL of the stuff listed but I do have a fair amount of it. Good to discuss this though as it does cause a light bulb to turn on (like... hmmmm now there's one thing I didn't think about...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones78 Posted January 18, 2012 Share #24 Posted January 18, 2012 why avoid ball end wrenches???? can't get light bar off the front to remove the fairing if you don't have them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda defeats the purpose doesn't it unless your prone to accidents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
