Tool Kit Idea

Folks,

Often times good ideas come along, rarely do great ideas come along.
This is a great idea: much to my dismay; my brand new 2014 Honda Valkyrie came with no tool kit. Now some may argue that it isn't necessary however; I have learned to leave nothing to chance. Since I have a pile of tools in my garage, rounding up the needed tools was not a problem. I ran into a problem when I was looking for something to put them in. Then genius stuck! I ran to my local Office Depot and grabbed one of these gems:

The bank bag is just the right size for the needed tools and fits in the storage compartment under the right side panel perfectly.
I don't mean to toot my own horn, but  TOOT, TOOT!!

I love to go fast, but my wallet doesn't! Maybe I should leave my wallet home!

Proof of why you do not need to carry tools on a Honda is when buying vintage Hondas the tool kits are either missing or the cheap tools have never been used.  :)

I have several of those small zip cases.  I keep my factory tools and extras in one, and other stuff in others.  Keeps crap organized and from rolling all over the place.  :cooldude:

Hungryeye: I carry the tool kit to help guys on Suzukis and Harleys. I am quite sure I'll never need them personally  :coolsmiley:

I've needed a wrench to tighten a mirror or hwy peg, but mostly my tools have been used on other bikes.

Dinosnake, sounds like you bought it at a discount! 99 cents at the Dollar store...  :cooldude:
