Re: Standard Tool Kit

Speaking on small ratchet sets, Autozone has marked down all of their AmPro tools at least 65% off.
I purchased a very nice quality set of 1/8 drive metric ratchers for $8.88. It doesn't come with a drive extension, but everything else is in there that you'll need on the bike, unless you are changing a tire or something major.

This sale has been going on for a while but, for some reason, it's just not selling.

Re: Standard Tool Kit

BB- you need a bigger bike just to carry all those tools and spare parts (just kidding).
Do they all fit in one ammo bag? And you keep it locked up, right? (reference to another post on here nearby).
The GZ is not unreliable but it pays to be prepared for any eventuality, especially if you cruise away from home. Self sufficiency is one of the greatest attributes, whether it be on a bike, a boat, a car, or in anything else.
Nice tool list - how much do you think all that weighs?. Speaking of list, having it all in one bag or ammo can probably will give the bike a list. :2tup:

Details, details.
Does strapping a lot of weight on the carrier behind the passenger seat make it easier to wheelie ??? :crackup

Locked yes. Always even when empty.

The tools listed would fit in one ammo can easy.

I have no idea what it weighs.

This is not even 1/4 what I carry on a road trip.

Re: Standard Tool Kit

BB - What kind of lock do you have on your cans? Any pictures?

I don't have any photos specifically of the locks. Maybe I should make some. There are some fancy locks you can get for ammo cans that cost way more than I paid for the cans. I just used a stainless steel eye bolt and a padlock.
