Tool Kit Question

Since H-D only included the "multi tool" with my Tri Glide I am considering adding a few more tools for on the road. I already carry a Leatherman Multi-tool and Maglite flashlights in all my vehicles. I also have a tire patch / plug kit and air compressor that migrated over from my previous bike. Has anyone expanded their tool kit and if so what are your suggestions?

Since I used to own a BMW motorcycle I already know the best "tool kit" is a cellphone, towing insurance, and a high limit credit card. I am trying to avoid that kit...:laugh:

This may sound funny, but I always have duct tape and bungee cords. Along with Leather man, small mag light.

Adjustable wrench, 1/2" & 9/16" box/open end wrenches. Maybe a set of SAE Allen Keys.

Wire ties are also a must.

A cluster of small Torx wrenches come in handy if a tour-pak latch breaks, which they do occasionally. A few years back my dad had one break, I was behind him when a piece of it bounced off the pavement and struck me below the left eye while going close to 80 mph.

I also have my old H-D tool kit. latex gloves, syphon hose, Progressive engine tire inflator kit(don't have to carry all those little CO2 bottles or a big pump). Here's a hint = every year buy a replacement tube of cement-they dry out fast and are useless.
I also carry a large(7/8" I believe) box wrench for my hiway pegs-one year one came lose and I lost it because I didn't have anything big enough to re tighten it.

Duct tape, lots of cable ties, hand cleaner, rags, flashlight and the most important thing - - - small roll of TP.
