I put a sliding T-bar in there too. Useful when I need a bit more torque than a 1/4 ratchet can safely provide. My screwdriver handle is much slimmer but accepts 1/4 sq bits. So I can use the same bits and extensions as the ratchet. It even has a 1/4 sq receptacle at the back, so you can use the ratchet driver and T-bar with it for ratchet and more torque. Knipex 86 03 125 can replace most wrenches. I was lucky to get a used one from a mechanic. PS: I watched your videos for tips and hope to reciprocate that help.
I also carry some wire, a selection of terminals (you can crimp them with pliers in an emergency), spare bulbs and fuses, spark plug spanner and a spare plug. I have owned my 1978 Triumph T140V for 30 years now, so experience has taught me what I need to carry, but I've used the tools on other people's bikes a lot more often than on mine.
Good video! Another option is a motorcycle kit from places like revzilla that have most of what’s covered for about 60 Buck. I also pack exhaust flange nuts, zip ties, wire, fuses 👌
Very good advise as always. Blip's honesty and sincerity are highly respected. With not one single tool with me, rode 50 miles home from work in rush hour city traffic with a loose, hanging, r/h mirror. Drove me nuts!
You'll also need an extension for the ratchet that's at least 6" long to reach in where just the socket & ratchet won't reach...a basic set of hand wrenches because you can't get a socket on everything...a set of needle nose pliars comes in handy as well & a pack of 8" zip ties for when your kickstand spring breaks, & if you're on a Harley that's WHEN, not IF...I've been on numerous group runs with Harleys & that's the #1 most common problem is kickstand spring breaking...I just bought a 3 pack off Amazon because it happened to mine on my last trip, so I can replace the old broken one, & now I have 2 backups...
Great video. I bought one of the pre made kits earlier in the season and have been making adjustments along the way. Those canvas bags are great. I like them betther than the tool rolls.
so im only at 3:30 and i have advice. first get ridecof all torque screws/ bolts on your bike and replace with ss or grade 5-8 alan heads. that reduces your tools to a good set of metric alan drivers, i like 3/8 drive with extention. becausevif you have to mess with your shift lineage you cant reach with a key. second why would you never not carry a tire repair kit. last year when i was in the boonies twice i got a flat and i dont like paying hundreds of dollors for a toe. a bicycle pump will fill your tire and fits in your tool roll. also i carry the biggest adjustable wrench i can if i have to remove a wheel or tighten the compensator, yes it happens. a small amout of wire and tape modern harleys have a slew of electrical problems. and if you know your bike again$$$$ save. my tool roll is about 5 inches around a a foot long and i can fix almost any problem id have on the road. it sits on the nacelle on my roadking and is held there by the windshield. last year i was gone 10 months ,circumnavigated the U.S with my 90# pitbull, we camped every night so yeah space is a premium when you have a dog in your topbox space and camping grear on your back seat. i had two tier changes and 4 oil changes on that trip which i was able to do myself with said tool roll. so your right you dont need a trunk load of tools but my minimum is pre trip prep.
Back in the day Harley sold bit drivers and screw drivers that take up less Rome than that fat driver from Lowes. In conjunction with the small bag I would of sourced out a tool roll with pockets that would of worked better in my opinion.
I just picked up a M.U.T. (military utility tool. I also got the rachet extension and bit kit. All in all it's pretty expensive ( ~230) but I can wear it on my belt and it's leatherman so I expect to have it for life. I didn't buy it for the bike, but it will work in that case. A better option for more motorcycle specific and less military might be the Super tool 300. Really you'd just need one that has a large bit driver.
Really!! Their not all American made for the longest time in my opinion expensive junk!! The local snapon guy used to give ma a hundred pound box twice a month of busted tools to get returned!!
My Harley is messed up with a mixture of SAE and metric. Who at Harley thought this was a good idea? Very very poor Harley! You should have went with channel locks. Break a lever and channel locks will get you home.

@Throttleblip the kit needs a headlamp light so you can be hands free but also see what your doing if your on the side of the road at nighttime.

A leather man with their bits, their ratchet driver, and a 1/4 drive with some socks would save a lot of room
Do you recommend any certain model?
@@throttleblip9854 nvm couldn’t find your IG so I sent an email, I suck with tech

Where can a find a super low profile BALL HEX 1/4” socket kit ?
Sweet good idea for a video
Fuses, certain light bulbs for your bike
I saw that in your show room there were no other employees, are you really working alone?....., greetings from Indonesia ....
I film a lot of my content after everyone else goes home. Just so there is no background noise or distractions. Appreciate the love, Anton!
Snapon: Four times the quality for 10 times the price!!
