I've got the Cruz Tools Buell Kit. Has just about all the different types of wrenches, screwdrivers, etc., for all the crazy fasteners found on the bike. PLus I ring Bubba along so he can fix it. |

Ahhh, let's not forget about some trusty 'ol duct tape. Actually, the only tools I take for most rides are the ones that came with the XB9S and a tire guage. A tire plug kit is definately a good idea though, as I did experienc a puncture during one 1000mi. weekend last summer. |

XB9R tool kit, Brag card, small notebook, pen, and a few plastic wire ties. I do like the idea of the mini pump, tire plugs, and the Topeak tool, and of course a Mexican socket set (a.k.a. = cresent wrench). mikeyp |

factory tool bsg, added a small HD brand tire pressure gauge, and wedged an 8 inch adjustable wrench just forward of the battery, it seems pretty well stuck there, captive under the seat. need to add a couple allen wrenches, and would like to find a way to pack a tire repair kit under the seat if possible, but have not figured that out yet. |

I do not particularly like the back pack option, but it seems to hold the tire repair kit and any other crap I want to carry along. It also holds a 12 pack of beer for a stop on the way home. |
