Geezalou Doc, it's a Honda. Chances are you are never going to need any of that. You've been riding Sportsters too long
Only for snugging mirrors after bumped.
Otherwise, mostly for helping others.
The 1/4 ratchet, both extensions and one of the Allen bits took care of issues on a friend's bike, last December. His breather hose was not seated, after a battery changed, just before a ride to the old Kelso Train Depot.
If I wanted to be better prepared to help H-D riders, I'd keep my Torx bits, also.
Since I ride mostly solo, in a lot of areas without cell service (even with Verizon), I try to be reasonably self-reliant.
I bought two 6 inch adjustable wrenches for the mirrors and a metric set of Allen keys for the mirror extenders on my CB500X. They are all under the seat of my CB1100 EX now.
