A tool kit should contain tools

Peterwh
I was browsing eBay and came across something listed by south side_Honda as a "vintage Honda common tools dealer tool kit".  It's an empty yellow box.  Admittedly, down in the description the seller does say it contains no tools, and I don't think anyone would be fooled, but in my book, something described as a tool kit should actually contain tools.

When I got my Shadow, it had a partial tool kit in it (spark plug socket, larger wrenches + handle, combination phillips and straight screwdriver + handle).  I have supplemented it with the following:
5 piece metric combination wrench set (8mm-15mm) with a little wrap around holder thingie
Multi-tool (Gerber Suspension)
Electrical tape
some 10mm nuts
Fuses

It all fits in a small ditty bag I got from Gander Mountain, along with my nylon rain pants, and there's still room for the helmet in the Emgo trunk I use.  I agree with the Sarge: do the PM stuff at home where there's more tools.  This is a little kit to get some emergency repairs done.  I've had to use it once, when the fuel filter clogged up on the side of the freeway.
