What's in YOUR toolkit?

[montmil]

Now that I have satisfied the BMW gods by sacrificing enough shekels to get the R65 reliably roadworthy, what recommendations are there for a carry-along tool roll? I'd rather not tow my rollaway cabinet or have to add saddlebags   Whatcha think?

The stock tool roll that came with my R65 has yet to let me down. The only things I've added have been a roll of electical tape and a handfull of zip ties.

Now all I need to do is look up the stock tool roll inventory. Cool!

May have but using the search feature revealed nada. Got answers from Google. Anyway, here's the full scoop from Duane Ausherman's site. He's got it all together.

Chiming in late here,
Monte you strike me as someone who owns a lot of tools like myself. I ordered up a tool roll from Bob's and began by stuffing it with things listed on Dwayne's site. Then I began to do my routine maintance with items just from the roll. With that experience I began to add and change what I carry. Some things I have that were not in the Kit are a cheap VOM, cable tys and yes, bailing wire, just in case!

A mobile phone is always handy just in case the tool you need isn't in there!

I've added a handful of those long nylon zip-ties and a small roll of duct-tape to mine !

Rich,  I like your "start with an empty tool roll" plan. Just last saturday I was casually shopping for a BMW-sized roll up. As you, I enjoy tools and the opportunities they provide. I am preparing my own list for the R65 and plan not to "rob" my existing tool chests.

As an addendum to the thread's title, how about "What's in your pocket?" Cellphone, CHECK; a little cash, CHECK; credit card, CHECK; I'm good to go!

Ummmmm, yeah.  This one sure helped me out last year.   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

When you get the tool roll, make sure what size you want.  I got one for Christmas one year and it was too big to fit in the tool box under the seat.
