Well I just made my decision up to put a real tool kit in the Uly. I was contemplating doing it anyways but today sent me over the top. It wasn’t a big deal but was more of an annoyance than anything, plus if this little issue happened on an elective issue what’s going to happen when a real problem happens. I went to adjust my left hand clutch lever angle and the tool that’s in the kit is an 8mm nut driver for the screw driver handle, not a wrench. He-Man probably couldn’t have loosened this nut with the dumb nut driver. I was also surprised at the lack of tools in the kit. One of the 2 wrenches they did throw in the kit was a spanner wrench even though I don’t need one. I noticed that all of the sizes in the stock kit are metric but the aftermarket one has both sizes. I thought our bikes were made in America.

Ordered kit from grharley. $59 To my door, couldn't pass it up.

Will add a couple of things, (and change out a couple of wrenches to gear wrenches, but this way I'm not robbing from one tool set, to make another...

I can deal with Taiwanese made stuff over main-land. I was going to end up at Harbor freight anyway : )

Thanks a bunch for the link Dcc46!

I'm making my own tool kit, and using an adjustable wrench to replace all of the other indivisual wrenches.

Take out the three largest wrenches. Roll it up REAL tight. I put mine in bottom first, and when I got to the strap rotated it on in.

I substituted some of the wrenches for gear wrenches, and moved around some stuff. I took a 12mm gear wrench and stuck the gear end over the 3/8 ratchet, and slid it down into the pouch pocket.

After in was in the tube I was able to slid in a 3/8 and 7/16 wrenches. It's a tight fit, bur works.

Put you tress large wrenches under you seat, in a bag, or in another tube. - I have four, but I'm like that.
