I found that I never leave home without my Nebo tool kit.  It has saved mine and countless others bacon many a time.  It quite small but is very handy.it has storeage in the handle for tourqe tips, Allen tips, and screw driver tips.  A seat of metric and Asa sockets.  I augment it with a 3" socket extention and a flat wratchet that will handle  the tips.  I also bring several feet of 14 gauge wire  a set of forecepts and wire connectors, along with some zip ties and needle nose pliers.  It will all fit in my back pocket.  I love this set up so much I carry the same kit in all my cars also.

I carry the factory kit with extra tools for up to 5/8 inch. Also have electrical tape, wire, wire ties and Allen wrenches.  A good pocket knife, motorcycle jumper cables and a flashlite. When I pull my Bushtec it has wheel bearings for the trailer, small air compressor, hand tire pump, socket  set including metric up to 7/8. Also a can of slime for tube type tires. (It works) have used it before and no problem continuing my travels.  Oh also a pistol.

I took a tennis ball tube and filled it with the tools thought needed and put it in a leather round tool bag. It fit nice in there and enough room for elect.tape, wire and a few small items. Neat package and the tools stay water tight.

You have some karma in the bank! It's funny how much alike bikers and boaters are. I have never passed a bike or boat that appears in trouble without offering assistance. When in the cage though I have to know them. I guess my thoughts are if you are a biker or boater you have to be good people. Haven't been proven wrong yet and hope I never am.

X2 and Very True!

I just carry the tool kit that comes with my CVO's and a good Leatherman tool

I have an old early '80's zipper HD tool pouch that I've filled with what I would consider essential tools for minor side-o-da-road repairs and have carried it with me for 25 years.  The contents have been modified as the MoCo has updated their product (examples: I removed the Dynajet carb rebuild kit from the pouch...added different size zip ties...got a story for both... ) but the basic "kit" has stayed the same.  I've considered purchasing a kit at different times but the old pouch has some sentiment to me and really, I've never needed anything different that I didn't already have in the kit (so far).  It had the right tools to allow me to rebuild the carb (8 times), remove the tank, install a new coil, etc. on the '95 Ultra on our Sturgis and Canada/BC trip in '95.....turned out to be a factory installation error of the wire harness from the ignition to electronics....whoopee!

I like the Snap-on kit but not at $320 bucks.....   Good equipment but they know it and price accordingly.

As our bikes have changed, so is how much we can actually do to them ourselves.  That's a double edged sword....great if you ride local/close to your home dealership and/or just don't work on them much.  Not so good if you travel long distances and have an issue on the roadside in the middle of Bum-tussle, Iowa/Nebraska/Utah....
I like wrenching on mine as the more I know/understand/cuss it in the garage, the more I know/expect/possibly repair on the roadside to get me to a dealer without calling AAA.  Therefore, my kit reflects what I know I can do....

I carry what ever comes with the bike. Between the wife and I we have logged over 170'000 miles on five different Harleys and the worst breakdown we have had is one flat tire. I did have a front brake go out on five day trip that detoured us to a dealer for a three hour layover but we have not ever put a tool to a bike on the road. How we have gotten away with this I do not know except I keep things checked and fixed before we leave out for a day ride or week.

I carry and use sunscreen, lip balm and eyewash solution.
