I know there is another thread on tool kits, but it looks more like a garage list. A touring kit is an exercise in compromise. For example, I do not carry a pair of 18" breaker bars and 36mm sockets in case I have to adjust my belt. Here is a list of what I have in my traveling kit. I would like to hear any suggestions anyone else has.

8" adjustable wrench
Long-nose pliers w/wire cutters
ratcheting screwdriver w/slot, #1 & 2 phillips, #27 Torx, 3/32, 5/32, 3/16, 1/4" 4mm & 5mm hex bits
1/4" combination wrench
1/2" Combination wrench w/ratcheting box end
3/8" socket adapter for 1/2" wrench
3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 3/4 (deep), 10mm, 12mm sockets
3" socket extension
8mm Allen wrench
1/4" Allen wrench (shortened to reach primary adjuster without removing muffler)
Small tube of blue lock-tite
Assorted zip-ties
Hose clamps
Bailing wire
Black electrical tape
20amp fuses

Am I missing anything? I don't want to be the guy who realizes for the first time that he needs something when he is 50 miles from the nearest Sears.

Good "tight" list, I would delete the clamps since you have the zip ties and add a small LED flashlight and possible a pocket utility knife, then wrap everything up in a "cleaning" rag.

I have an '07 Uly and recently pulled the plugs. I now know that I would also need a 5/8" socket, U-joint and long extension to get to the rear plug. Hope I never have to do that on the road, but I think it's what I'd need. Probably a 5/8" wrench too for the front plug.
