Wondering what tools you carry, if any, and any tips on why you carry them. Thanks.Looks like you don't have room on that thing to carry any tools.
HeHe!!! Hopefully I won't need this for Joy! After all, she's an Evo! But this is one of the most helpful tools you can have on the road! ;D ;) :2vrolijk_21:

Great idea of the trailer list; didn't know it existed but will copy and carry as a last resort :2vrolijk_21: Still also a good idea to carry a few tools as ya might actually fix the thing and save one of the great trailer folks a bunch of time; especially if they are busy at work or with family, etc, etc. :2vrolijk_21:
HeHe!!! Just ANOTHER tool to keep with ya Blaine. And easy to carry. Ya never know, it might be the most imporatant one some day though! Hope not!!! :nixweiss: ;)

I carry a can of Glare polish. I've been told that stuff will prevent anything bad from happening to the bike.

That stuff is so good I just carry an old rag that 103 threw away after he applied some Glare. All by itself it keeps chains from breaking, belts from getting cut or punctured and tires from going flat.
Not true. Wife backed into a fully Glared front fender on my SEEG a little over a year ago . . . though, come to think of it, the car bumper was also Glared and suffered no damage. Hmmmmmm.
Never thought about putting it on those things. :idea2: Thanks for the tip!!! :2vrolijk_21:
So you're saying the protective Glare rag was in her car and not stored in the bike?
So wrong....
Yeah, gonna start hanging a little bottle of it from the bike frame somewhere, sorta like one of those bells, and see how that works! ;) ::) :P
You can smoke it too?? :confused5:
Definitely. The Magic Protective Glare Bong :2vrolijk_21: .

Personally have never used the stuff. Given the descriptions that ascribe its magical effects, however, I'm sure people can (and have 8) ).
You got me. :nixweiss: Next thing you know AJ will be in here before noon. :shocked2: :D :D
The real question is,
what is Don doing up this early?

What ever you carry please do NOT make the same mistake I did. Carried mine, allen wrenchs, plyers, adjustable wrench, a multi head screw driver and my fork lock in a leather tool bag mounted below the head light.
Looked ok but apparently everytime the fork compressed, the fender hit the bag which dented it pretty good. The only repair I tried was the compressed air "dent removal" I saw on a thread somewhere on this site. Didn't work.

I carry the standard issue HD tool kit that comes with the bike - a small assortment of nylon zip-ties - cell phone - and credit/debit card... same as most folks.
One other item that I carry that no one mentioned, unless I missed it, is Duct Tape. You can make a lot of temporary repairs with duct tape. In a pinch, you can also secure stuff to a luggage rack if you are short on bungee cords - repair clothing malfunctions - dress a wound - and it also comes in pretty handy for securing those individuals that become a bit unruly ;)
Duct Tape: Don't Leave Home Without It!
HeHe!!! You FD guys really KILL ME!!! :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:
There are NO factory supplied tool kits for HD Street Bikes, just the Touring Bikes! (psst, and this is the FXR board) ;D ;)

and scare rabid dogs away.
Dopn't be talkin' about Cheri that way. She's my friend.
This is a multi-purpose tool I carry sometimes. It can help me get supper if lost, adjust bad attitudes, and scare rabid dogs away.(http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=31600.0;attach=97751;image)
Elvislee,
Can you post a picture of that fork brace? Was it H-D or some other brand? Let me know maybe I can just look it up online.
I'm thinking it would look good and cover the dent depending on where it lands on the fork.
Thanks,
Joe
