I learned I need to build a decent toolkit to replace the stock nonsense. Cheap ass junk! Couldn't even remove the handlebar bolts without spreading the jaws of the wrench- at 15 ft-lbs!

I'll just replace everything in there with real steel tools. Or titanium if I get a windfall

10 or 12mm socket or wrenches

One item? Number 5 Allen. I could field strip my 998 with it.

For sure when I got the ultra I had to buy a set of t-handle torx drivers and a set of torx sockets. Can not function without. But I will also say... the HD tool kit has almost every tool you need to do most things!

Whenever dealing with torx... ALWAYS try the next size larger. ALWAYS This will ensure you dont f up the bolt.

Worst part about my torx sockets is that from 27 to 30 also changes from 3/8 to 1/2 drive

I always have my Gerber multi tool with me. Can't live without it.

I also made myself a custom tool-roll with everything in it to completely tear down my bike that stays in the tail bag. Don't leave home without it.
