Tool kit upgrade items

Post by hotzuk »

Hey everyone,

Planning a ride to West Virginia, Virginia and North Carolina in two weeks. I have the stock BMW took kit along with the tire plugger. Looking for suggestions for items to add to the kit. After one of my last trips, zip ties will be there for sure :)

I bought a small air compressor. I had heard a lot of tire repair stories and decided I'd carry the extra weight rather then risk the co2 cartridge running stort of air at a crucial moment. It's handy for adjusting tire presssures along the way too.

I bought a cheapo air compressor from the local Autozone for $15 and removed the plastic 'case' from it. It's much smaller and fits on top of my airbox/under the tank.

I think a decent pair of pliers and multi-bit screwdriver would be a good addition.
