    Great vid!! I'm 51 now. My father was a true old school biker. Always wore greasy jeans, ZZ beard, dirty shirts, dirty jokes
    But tools on the road were no joke. He road old British bikes as a kid then moved up (or dow depending on who you talked to lol) to the HD pan & shovel heads.
    You were often on the side of the road helping a fellow rider or saving yourself.
    Tire tools and tube patch kits were popular. Test light. Basic combo wrenches, electrical tape, mini needle nose vise grips and a small emergency tarp. Working on your bike on the side of the road in the rain blows.
    He had all his gear and a few spare cloths tied to his oversized sissy bar / rat trap set up. Looked funny but was always the guy everybody knew he'd have something for ya.
    I sure miss him.
    Your vid took me down memory lane.
    Thank you my friend.

    Plug kit is the only thing your missing and that’s what my bag started with. I was 2hrs away from house when I got a flat rear tire. I was about 20min from a gas station. Thank god the gas station I went to had a tire plug kit. Then I also got a small air pump from a junk car at a salvage yard.The newer Buick regals has them and the newer Malibu. They are really small and it’s worth the peace of mind to have in your saddle bag if you have the room. My tool kit isn’t complete yet but I know more what to look for now that I watched the video. Thanks man. Great video.

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  Před 2 lety

    I put together a tool bag similar to yours but with more multi use tools to save the weight and size. Included a motorcycle multi tool that has been a great addition. I’ve completely removed a street glide fairing to fix a wiring issue on the side of the highway with it. Also added a small first aide kit that has come in handy as well.

    I love your videos. Why? Because you get to the point and you don't try to be cool. You just do what the title of the video says you are going to do. I just bought a 2014 Tri Glide Ultra and your videos have already helped me a lot. I have done all of my own work for years (had a dad that taught me to work on stuff and figure it out). I will be making my own tool kit instead of buying the HD one for $170. Keep on making grat vids and KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN!

    @cowboywrench13 Před 11 měsíci +1

    I realize that this video is a year old, but I keep 3 more things in my kit that you didn't mention, that others may find useful.
    A small C clamp for pushing brakes back if you have to do any brake work to free up a wheel. (Done this.)
    A kickstand spring, because those don't break at home and they don't take up much space or weight.
    A spare shifter peg. I can't count the number of times people with me have lost a shift peg on rides.
    Great video

  • @Dugauntlet
    @Dugauntlet Před rokem +9

    I haven't been riding for too long however, from experience on the car side of things. The little premade kits are typically a good foundation to build upon and give you a solid starting point if you don't already own a lot of tools, and you're just learning how to wrench. My suggestion if you go the premade kit route, actually use your kit when doing maintenance and modding your bike. After a little bit you'll discover/add the tools that you need and have a kit pretty much tailored to your bike.

    • @sikbaggers
      @sikbaggers  Před rokem

    Great kit and I have never had to use anything out of it but then I do my own maintenance and I just don't have any problems with my 2020 RGL, but it is nice to know that if I need a tool on the road I probably have what I need with me.

    My bike had a HD tool bag when I bought it. I’ve added a few tools to it.
    I also carry a medical kit. Only had to use it once in the last 20 years. I was a medic in the Army, and have trained for wilderness and emergency care. (Nam, 69-70.)
    I’ve used my tools to help others on the road many times.
    For those with key fobs, keep a couple extra batteries in your kit. This to has helped me and others on the road.
    One more thing: carry a battery charger. This too has helped me and even a cage or two.

    One tip to store electrical or other tape in a very compact way is to take an old plastic card (like a credit style card) and put several wraps around it. Stores very flat and you can carry several feet of tape that way. I would also consider adding a tire plug/patch kit and small self powered inflator to the tool kit for long distance riding. Even if just to maintain your air pressure, it's handy to have a small self contained compressor and they take up very little space. Great video as always!

    • @sikbaggers

    Screw in tire plugs, 12v mini air pump, Leatherman, micro fiber towels and rain-x, rokstraps, lighter. I also keep my heel shifter and drill out the bolt hole and put in a shank bolt/nut/ lock washer. In 2018 on my old bike 2001 ultra classic, coming home from Sturgis had the shifter come off at 85mph on I-80 in the twisties dropping into Salt Lake City in a rainstorm. The stock bolt is all threads/ no shank and the threads in the slotted area wore out. Luckily I had the heel shifter in the bottom of the saddlebag from when I removed it. I never used/ liked a heel shifter.
    Now on my 2018 geezer glide ultra couch I put in shank bolts in all areas of the linkage along with upgraded after market linkage and an extra shaft. My sons friend broke his shaft ( insert giggle here) up in Azalea Montana at topless Tuesday and 20 min later was riding again.

And last year we were in Utah and my buddy pulled over on the highway once we caught up to him he told us his shifter fell off... I pulled out the extra one five minutes later we're back on the road.. one other thing I do have. A shorty ball-peen hammer. Otherwise in that I have the same exact bag you have...

    From experience, I had a person detail my bike. Detailer did not snap the tool bag correctly and came out flying in the freeway. All of my tools were lost. Also, do not overload the saddle bags and make sure you keep them balance. Lastly, I have a cigarette lighter power compressor and Cartridge for CO2 Inflators just in case. This tool bag is also used with the additional tool for the BMW gs 1200r and Ducati 1198.

    Great video, definitely something folks need to keep in mind. We’ve actually put together a pretty extensive tool kit. I have it broken down into 2 smaller bags and a tool roll. This way we can split the kit up among 3 different bikes. This allows us to carry many different sized wrenches, sockets and such. This way, if we come across someone on another brand or foreign models we can offer assistance. We even carry a small jump box, actually assisted someone in Daytona earlier this year that left their lights on.

Plus it gave me an opportunity to purge my tool box of the cheap hand tools that unfortunately you buy when you’re young and can’t afford the good tools. I did as you said added some things like: Super Glue, some mechanics wire, cut down length of the bigger and stronger wire ties, a multi tool that has a knife, and small right angle screw drive and bits (Harbor Freight). I also purchased a 56 Lumens Triangle emergency light that doubles for a flashlight, lights solid red color and flashing emergency red. This I’ll attached to the front of my Molle bag.
