I don't have one. I think there was mention of it when I bought it but don't recall. So, I'm kinda pondering gettin one for posterity... Then again I might just skip it.
Anybody use them? Out on the road?
I've used some honda oem tools but reach for something different and carry a bit more to boot.
The only reason I see assembling the tools (didn't see a part# for the whole kit) is to have it for re-sale. I think when I added everything up it was more than $50. I could buy a lot of tools for that at HF.
If something goes awry out and about I reckon I'll need a tow truck and a credit card instead.
I like to be reasonably prepared, even if to tighten a mirror after it gets bumped. A quality set of 1/4" drive Metric hex bits (Allen) is $50 from McMaster-Carr.
Under the seat:
Compact foot pump (over battery)
Can of SealNAir (over battery)
Plug kit (over battery)
Tool pouch (rear of fuses/cross bar)
1/4 ratchet, 3" & 6" extensions
1/4" drive 3, 4, 5, 6 & 8 mm Allen bits
1/4" drive 8, 10, 12, 14 mm hex sockets
1/4" drive #2 & #3 Phillips
Open end wrenches from my last Yamaha, including 10, 12, 14 & 17.
Larger combo wrench from my last Yamaha (19 x 22mm)
The space for the U lock has a 24" flat bungee.
Nice to have that much space!
Thanks E.S. and Sp.Doc.
I need to put something together.
Space huh! I'm used to 83' G.Wing Interstate space. I carried tools and spares.
Down here in the Antipodes we got the entire Honda tool kit. On the road, I've used a couple of bits of it a couple of times, but mostly for problems with other people's bikes rather than my CB.
Consider your mechanical abilities, and what you can do on the side of the road. Personally plugging a tire, adjusting a chain, maybe changing out a fuse, or a light bulb ( although I don't carry spare bulbs), or replacing a battery are what I am capable of doing .... so on a trip I carry tools that will accomplish those tasks. Anything more complicated than that and I'm calling for a tow.
T.f.,
that is about it for me too.
Rocky,
good suggestion. all there.
got it.
Corman, I thought everyone got the tool kit.
Just to extend this a bit, my 2014 CB only came with 3-4 tools. I asked the dealer about it and they ordered in all the missing tools from Honda free of charge.
Some time ago (couple of years?) there was a thread about the missing tools.
My Bonneville didn't come with any tools so I bought a metric set of Cruz tools which is why I suggested them.
I just have CB basic tool+ and tire repair kit.
Even with my automotive skills not much more I can do on the road, realistically.
