DeBenGuzzi Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Anyone know where I could pick up a nice tool kit to put in place of those crap denso vapor hoopaju's I've looked around but really this place seems to know everything I can't find. BTW I have the fin guards on the way I got the raised simple looking ones with the engraved Eagle very nice!. So I'm just going down the list of crap I need to get
badmotogoozer Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 tool pouch existence? let me check.... yup, got one right under my tool. No, you can't have it, but I'll let your sister play with it. Rj PS, check with Rich Maund (lister) - he's got some neat stuff along that line.
al_roethlisberger Posted May 12, 2005 Posted May 12, 2005 Rich Maund makes the perfect tool pouch for the V11. He sometimes has red ones, but they are usually black marine grade leather, fasteners, etc.... and about twice as big as the stock bag. It fits *perfectly* in the tool tray. Drop him a note. The last I heard, he posted last month that he had a couple of the black ones still in stock. al
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 12, 2005 Author Posted May 12, 2005 me and rich are like THIS (imagine fingers crossed) I just got a seat rebuild from him and I love it. I'll drop him a line and see what the price would be on a Red one. did the stock one come with any tools? what do I need to get in it exactly to be safe?
twhitaker Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 Rich's tool pouch is nice. I have one for each of my bikes. For $30 (when I got mine) it does not include any tools. The Italian tools are crap anyway. Get a set of metric Snap ON allen wrench ball drivers ($20) and fill out the rest with Craftsman.
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 13, 2005 Author Posted May 13, 2005 whats a good list of tools to have in the bag and I will get them. Any help pleeze?
Guest bshpilot Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 whats a good list of tools to have in the bag and I will get them. Any help pleeze? 51534[/snapback] lets see...at least ONE spark plug, maybe a wire boot for the plug TOO. a shift return spring... some style of "leatherman" type multi tool... and if youve got your DREAM tool case, id want TWO of the following open ended wrenches. 10, 12, 14, singles of the following wrenches... 8 and a socket set covering all those too. at least a part. roll of electrical tape & a hand full of zip ties. wire cutters (or dikes) hehe he said DIKE also a number 1, 2 & 3 phillips screw driver and a 1, 2 & 3 flat blade screw driver and a DAMM good pair of adjustable pliers and some FUSES
twhitaker Posted May 13, 2005 Posted May 13, 2005 To the above list I would add: 13, 17, 19, 22, 27 open end wrenches. (An excellent 22/27 combination box wrench is available from MG) A short piece of 14mm allen wrench stock to fit the axle bolt. From the Snap On allen wrench set I carry 8, 6, 5, 4, 2.5 A relay. I carry a combination phillips - flat screwdriver. The size for the alternator cover.
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 14, 2005 Author Posted May 14, 2005 JESUS CHRIST I have a tool "pouch" not a Tool "box" I'll throw in a spark plug something to change a spark plug a relay a leatherman a small roll of electape and appropriate allen wrenches prolly not snap-on I don't want to take out a loan or have tools that expensive sitting under my seat. Oh and maybe a couple zip ties those things always come in handy like new age Duct tape. Hmm I wonder if thats what they use to keep ducatis runnin? I shouldn't need a spring its not common (so I've heard) in the early years but I won't count it out.
al_roethlisberger Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 heh, I'm glad someone said it ....good lord guys. No wonder you want more HP and lighter wheels. You've got a whole Snap-On truck under your seat
Guest bshpilot Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 hey i said DREAM tool kit...doesnt mean i actually have this crap under my seats...hell most of the time i dont have as much as a single wrench or screwdriver under the seat. on long trips i make sure ive got some tools but a cell phone is really all ya need
helicopterjim R.I.P. Posted May 14, 2005 Posted May 14, 2005 I carry $100 cash, a phone card and some matches. Lightweight and takes very little space.

You might need one to pull the "Snap On" trailer.
