I have a goldwing tool bag with tools to keep with my 97Valk. Is there a place to stash this other than the two big bags in the back. Suggestions?

Kevin

Honda provided a compartment under the seat and behind the battery.

Thanks, there's even enough room there for a sandwitch!

As my handle says I am a CMA member. When you join you are encouraged to pick a ministry. I chose mechanical. This means I will help a fellow biker on the side of the road. I carry tire plugs, a compressor, jumper cables and more tools than just the Honda kit always. I now have large saddle bags so these items don’t take up too much room.

80 piece self selected Tool kit fits underneath the trunk of my Interstate. Anytime I do maintenance or repairs I use these tools.

Not trying to be a snicker doodle. The only tools needed for a Valk or Wing. Are a tire plug kit and a portable air compressor. Not like them stupid harleys that break down every 100 miles.   cooldude

With only a few exceptions (like a loose mirror), my Valk tools (factory, plus a decent supply of extras), has only been used on other people's bikes.  Including a new very spendy BMW.

I do not carry a spare alternator because I never want to even attempt changing one.

I keep my tool kit in my rack/tail bag with my rainsuits.
