Bagger toolkit

[Rockout Rocker Products]

I've long been trying to come up with a simple, inexpensive, compact took kit to keep on the bagger ('15 Limited Low). A while back I bought this...



figuring I would pick a few items that I wanted to carry, sh*tcan the rest. I think I paid about $25 on sale at harbor freight. I just couldn't justify hundreds of $$ in tools to more than likely never get used.

Soooo, a month goes by, then another, and another.... just never could seem to come up with THE perfect storage solution. The other day a member on another forum mentioned there were some cool products at https://www.storagepouches.com/ and he was right!
$60 + shipping gets you custom fitted tool storage bags that sit down in the wells at the bottom of the saddlebags. The saddlebags have a raised hump running the length of the bag making the space next to the hump pretty much useless. These bags fill that space, taking up almost no extra room. I was able to get the ENTIRE HF tool kit in the pouches with room left over. (I did not include the nails, drywall screws, or tape measure ) I also used a couple of cheep ($1 each) socket strips...









The weight is right around axle height instead of way up in the trunk where I usually carry such things, MUCH better. So for under a hunnert bux.... done :icon_toast:

I've seen those tool pouches before and thought they were a pretty good idea. Thanks for the link.
Just a thought to consider, think about replacing that ratchet with a better quality unit, maybe a pawn shop purchase or a spare from your box. I have two from a kit I bought at HF, and am less than impressed.

A hammer is a definite to carry.  Will get the job done when no other tool works and you are very frustrated..

Plus if you've seen all the Then Came Bronson episodes you can do body work on the side of the road

Sooner or later, everything becomes a hammer

  I have had a set of those about 5 years now and luv em, but when I filled them & put them in the bags they made a knocking sound over bumps so I lined the bottom of the bags with some thin terry towels.  Knocking gone!!!!

Bought a leather tool roll(custom made by some hippie) back in about 1990. Paid $75 back then and had a lot of second thoughts while peeling out the greenback back then but I have never looked back

Kathy's Tool Pouch, Sport Size works well.  $25.00 #SP-BLK.  Get it from Bob's BMW.  They make a smaller size also but the bigger one is better for what you need on a H-D.
