Just read this article about Harley tool kits. I didn't even know they used to come with one! My buddy's old Sportster had a little pouch with some wrenches. Seems like they cheaped out. What do you guys think? Link: https://example.com/harley-tool-kit

Honestly, those stock tool kits are mostly garbage anyway. For the price of a Harley, I'd rather they put that money into better components. I've got a full set of Craftsman in my garage.

Back in the day, those kits were actually decent. Had basic stuff to adjust the primary chain or change a spark plug on the side of the road. Nowadays you're lucky if you get a crappy multi-tool. I always carry my own pouch with real tools.

I'm new to wrenching and my bike didn't come with anything. Was plannin to grab a cheap kit off Amazon. Figure it's better than nothin? Should I just build my own?

@CraftsmanChris82 Build your own. Grab a roll-up pouch and get a set of hex keys, a couple screwdrivers, a small crescent wrench, and a spark plug socket. Way better than a pre-packaged kit.
