I'm serious - rolls for the traveling chisels, rolls for the d*mned whitworth wrenches that MUST be in the 'boot' for something as benign as a beer run. When storage is cheap, everything has a place... and this is good. Making my own tool rolls is the only reason I know how to rebuild and operate a sewing machine.

So it basically only cost me the money for the fork bag. I ride a cruiser so I don't have the problem of stuffing that in a storage compartment below a seat or something. One of the nice things about Harleys is that they try to consistently use the same size tools. In fact there is a webpage http://www.sportster.org/tech/tools/wrenchfit.shtml that lists tools sizes for my particular bike. These are pretty commonly used for most Harley bikes. For my kit I also add in some "Boy Scout" supplies like zip ties, bungy cords, a leatherman. I've used my kit on more than one occasion to help a fellow biker out or to tighten something that was working it's way loose on the highway. Another tip if you do decide to create your own is to wrap your tools in an oil rag and put them in a 1 gallon ziplock in the tool pouch. This keeps your tools from rusting after you ride through a rain storm. Living in Missouri I've ridden through way too much rain.

I'd rather put together my own set - which I did for all of my cars. Granted, they're cars and not motorcycles, but the concept is the same. The last thing you need is for a cheap torx wrench to twist off when you're stuck on the side of the road with your Harley. Food for thought....

FWIW, I've always had trouble putting together roll-type kits because I can never find a roll that holds exactly the tools I want. I'd guess that's even worse with a motorcycle kit where it needs to be small to fit around the battery box/under the seat. I've heard of so many people scrounging for the right kit for their motorcycles that I posted it right away when Lorenzo sent it. I liked the $90 kit a little better, but thought bargain-conscious Toolmongers might want the $65 version -- plus it's the only one of the type I was writing about that Amazon stocks.

It is a good concept but for that kind of money I can put my own kit together with store brand tools and purchase a fork bag to put them in.
