Put together my F6B "Tool Kit" today

[willtill]

Decided to finally get some tools together and have them ready to throw in the saddlebag for the Rally next month. Had some extra tools laying around and just augmented them with some new ones as well for this kit. Maybe taking too much... but better to have it and not need it; rather than to need it and not have it Not ever expecting having to use these tools on the F6B... but may come in handy for someone else whom is come across; stranded for lack of a tool

Probably the MOST important tool(s) in the kit below are the air compressor and the tire plugging kit. This is absolutely a MUST for a tubeless motorcycle.



Metric assorted wrench set (18mm - 7mm)
Flat tip screwdrivers
Phillips screwdrivers
Needle nose pliers
Slip joint pliers
Wide mouth adjustable wrench
SAE Hex key combo tool
Metric Hex key combo tool
Torx Hex key combo tool
Jumper cables
Slime air compressor
Digital tire air gauge
Razor knife
Tire Plugging kit
Electrical tape
Electrical wire
Flashlight
Assorted Mini and ATA fuses

All weighs 10 pounds when said and done; in the bag



What else may I have missed, that you would feel would be necessary for a travel tool bag?

You don't have anything to remove the front or rear wheels. For trip I carry tools to remove the seat/ backrest to access the relays hidden underneath the seat. Also sockets/ allen sockets a 3/8" long handle wratcitwrench, adapters , torqwrench to remove both tires. Slime air pump, stop&ago mushrum plug kit. Addiquit space on a cc for a roll back.

Yep. Got that too... but not in the kit

Also have a mobile phone. But I think I need to throw in a roll of 100mph tape in the bag... that stuff is a great field expedient.

You know.. I was thinking of that... but if I'm at the point where I have to remove the rear (or front) wheel.. I am already looking for mobile assistance. I believe the rear lugs are 19mm deep well socket, and the front axle is a 22mm wrench or socket...

The Metric Hex key combo tool that I have; has the necessary hex key sizes (5 and 6mm) to remove the F6B's luggage rack and seat.

That's not a Harley your riding, its a Honda Goldwing, it would have to be a Harley to require that many tools. I have a Cruz metric tool kit, the small slime compressor, a Stop and Go tire plugging kit and a flash light

My brother I think you have gotten it all, as far as not needing it you are probably right.
But the idea of being able to help another is where it,s at for all of us that ride.

+1 you bought a Honda, you don't need any of that. If you bought a Honda car would you carry all that stuff with you on a trip. LOL

Seadog, I've been looking at those "ready to go" motorcycle tool kits but.... think they are waaaay overpriced for what you get in them.

All of the tools (and bag) that I have listed in my original post cost me (approximately) no more than $100.00... and that was made possible by a sale today at Harbor Freight (I love Harbor Freight).

The metric wrench set (in totality of sizes), the SAE and Torx Hex Hex combo wrenches, and the large mouth adjustable wrench are probably "overkill" on my own admission... but minimal in cost and adequate room for them in the tool bag

If I was a minimalist, I could replace all of the screwdrivers, razor knife, needle nose pliers, and the slip joint pliers with a leatherman combo tool.

I put mine together, too:



$49 per year, covers me on any vehicle I ride or drive (even ones I rent or borrow). Really easy to pack, too...
