I like how you have you sockets on the ring..........What type of ring is that?? Excellent idea!

Alan,
Appreciate your response and pictures. What bags do you use to store the tools and I assume you stack them in the trunk because of weight.
Wish I was as neat with tools as you are
The more stuff [Tools] you pack with you the less confident you are in your ride...
Like my Old Man would always say to me..; Son' He always called me Son,
Son with all those tools you take with you ' You must be riding scared ...:laugh:...
My kit is a mini version of Fuzzy's. I've been carrying a flat repair kit and compressor for years and have never had to use it. I carry a small socket set and of course the T25 and T27. Needle nose and zip ties for sure. But I keep my motorbike in top shape and haven't had to do any roadside repairs. Heck, most of us drive our cars and trucks thousands of miles without even raising the hood.
Pre trip inspection is key to the number of times you need tools. Just sayin
A thorough pre-ride is key, I agree
If you still have the stock HD shiter ends on your linkage check them close. They like to fail at the most in opportune time This is where tie straps or the vise grips will come in handy
Replacing the stock linkage is one of the first things I do ... forget what they call these ends .... but, they are way smoother and I've never seen one fail.

Just ordered a tire plug kit and compressor after seeing pictures of fuzzy’s, so I guess I’ll put that in the trunk along with a H-D tool kit I got from one of my other bikes, a tire gauge, and air pump for shocks, till I can save my money and get some new ones from Kevin. As far as my car I drive a 2011 Honda Pilot with 320,000 mostly highway miles that I think I have only looked under the hood 3 or 4 times and have never checked the oil.
Honda engines are really reliable.
I have the tool kit from my Ultra. The trike didn't have one. So I kept mine. I Put Ride On in the tires last summer. But I still have the plug kit and compressor.. We were at Craze Horse one year. Some guy had a flat. Had to have Someone from Rapid City come with a wrecker.. I started carrying the compressor after we got home.. Only used it one year three times to get back to town to have tire replaced... It had two plugs to stop the leak... Didn't ride very fast on the way back to town

What Fuzzy is a harley part with the heim ends, they have several different styles you can get from your local dealer or J & P cycles sells them also, so DK customs and you can just get the heim ends from DK or at least one time you could and keep your rod. Your bike will have the same as any other harley they haven't changed anything different, cheap cheap, they want you to buy the other things that looks better and it will make it easier to shift and you don't have to worry about it breaking with the heim joints
All for now Trampas
