Are you sure you don't have a tool kit. On my bike its hidden under a tray that unclips, behind the LH sidecover. I found it by accident cleaning the bike when I first bought it. All you need though is a few metric wrenches from 8 to 14mm, a plug wrench and a philips screwdriver. Pliers are always handy to have also.

You also get a couple allen wrenches in the stock kit to adjust the windshield, and a tire gauge. I also pack a small socket kit, an electric air pump, and most of all: a tire plug kit. So far my only on-the-road failures with the Nomad have been from nails in the tires. Make sure you have a 10mm to get the seat off & tighten battery cables. A socket with extention really is the best for that, and for removing the bags as well.

I lead our Motorcycle Fellowship group and usually carry a first aid kit and tool bag. It may seem like a lot but it's come in handy to keep the group going. I made up this tool roll bag. Plus I carry a Tire patch/plug kit.

One tool I added to mine was a small pair of vice grips. If you drop the bike & break a brake or clutch lever, you can use the vice grips as a temporary fix until you get home. -Rich

I first thought my bike didn't have the tool kit in it too. I looked in the manual again and went back to the bike and found the box inside the LH side box. It's a hidden compartment.
Sounds like you have great tips on what tools to pack.

Tool Kits
I brought the tool pouch kit from Cruz Tolls... The roadtech M3.. Got it on sale at J.C. Whitney..
Have one for my Sabre and my new Nomad.. Will get a tire repair kit though, last road trip we were on, one of our riders got a screw in his tire, I also saw at www.cyclegear.com a Slime Power Sport Tire inflator (#4026) runs on battery power, and if you already have the leads installed for a battery tender plus, you can use that hook up for power. Thats on my next to do list.. Just thought I would pass the info. |

The hold down strap is for the carbon cannister on Cali bikes...the tool kit is under that...you have to pull the little knob out to open up another compartment.
