What is in everyone's tool kit for HD travel? I have a took kit in my GL1800 and my Africa Twin, but those kits are not very useful on my 2012 Ultra Classic CVO. Of course there's the 12v compressor and the plug kit, but what specific hand tools are necessary?

Well - I started with a prebuilt Cruz - Tools kit. I think it was the econo kit. I've since bought a tool roll, and filled it with more stuff. I also bring an intake wrench [1/4" Allen] a Dyna Plug kit, an assortment of fuses, valve stem cores, a small FLUKE multimeter, some 3M Super 88 elec tape, and a fair swath of T&B Ty-Wraps. [Not the crap "zip ties" but real strong "Ty-Wraps"]. I also bring a quart of oil [I'm an Amsoil guy.] Octane booster, a multi kit [leatherman], two flash lights, and an air compressor. No - I can't rebuild the mc on the side of the road, but I've gotten out of some jams with my kit. I'm sure there is more, but it's a solid start. [From memory].

I kid, I kid...

I have accumulated lots of tools from numerous sources over the years so I typically just do some maintenance at home in the garage including a nut and bolt check. If I needed it to do the maintenance I put it in a tool roll and that becomes my kit on the bike. I refill the tool box drawer with a suitable replacement.
