There is no tool kit just a allen wrench.
Learning from my mistakes... again and again.

Nope.....Americas don't have a tool kit.
Speedmasters do... the allen wrench/key thingy. That's it. Just to get the seat off.....

I think that the FREAK comes with a toolbox. Maybe that's it?

Ah, that would be your 'tool kit' 
I wouldn't be too concerned about tool kits though. Even though I too have criticized the absence of a kit, and have tools that I have determined worthy of carrying, in nearly 20,000 miles I have yet to use any of them except a tire guage. When you stop to think about it - Those things we used to regularly need tools for don't happen much with today's motorcycles. It would seem that todays 'ride stopping' failures are probably best addressed by a tire kit and a cell phone. The weight you save by not carrying tools is best substituted with a hefty wad of cash for fuel because you'll most certainly never interupt your ride time with unscheduled wrench time.

Yes, I think that's right. The comment was if I had a FREAK.

It's an optional accessory but you need to get it at your local Sears store!

No, they don't have one. The reason is that it's hard these days to get the inch size tools in the UK that you will need to stop and help out broken down Harleys, and that's the only reason you'd need one.

After my last road trip stopping to help 2 Harleys broke down on 2 different occasions, I think you're right. Maybe I should carry some of their tools instead of mine.

Ya know, it IS kind of ironic, that the toolboxes I have on my bike are for a HARLEY Softail!!!!
