When my new CB1100 EX decided to take a nap at the side of road while I was dealing with a couple of bee stings, the mirror folded back. So I lifted the seat for the tool kit. A plastic fuse puller, plastic handled screwdriver with only one bit, and a 5mm Allen key. Angry

My 2013 CB500XA had the full kit including a 14mm wrench that would have allowed me to tighten the mirror.

I now have a couple of small adjustable wrenches under the seat. Two are needed because the when the top nut is tightened counter-clockwise, it loosens the bottom nut tightened clockwise. Angry

That's all I got with my '14 too.
The dealer brought in all the missing tools for me free of charge.
Good idea to have the adjustable wrenches Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
