Now that I have room to carry an on-board tool-kit, what do you carry?
The pre-fab tool kits are not an option (ie. Cruz tools). Too expensive and lacking. I'm planning to take the pawn shop, garage sale route. I've replace what Torx head bolts I found with allen head.
Please be specific. Here's some of my thoughts. Let me know if something is not needed and what I'm missing:
4.5-6mm Allen wrenches (long)
Reversible philips/blade screwdriver
Conventional pliers
Needle-nose pliers
Additional fuses (specifics sizes?, One of everything?)
Additional vacuum port nipples
Small socket wrench, small extension, sockets 8-13mm
Tie wraps

just enough to put water repelent filters on the pods in case it rains, which includes pretty much whatever you need to do any side of the road repairs. sellphone is the most important one imho

Here are a couple of old threads about tools... What tools do you carry? Whats in your tool kit? It looks to me like Phil is the master of fitting a whole Matco truck into a saddle bag.
