Quick tool storage tip

[LukeM]

I have an Emgo trunk on my Shadow, and I found a great way to keep all the tools in one place and not rattle around. I used a nylon ditty bag, but it started to tear. So I purchased some box lots at an auction a while back, and found a case for a telephoto lens (without the lens).  Nice close-able opening, long enough for everything, padded so it won't rattle.  It holds wrenches, a Gerber multi-tool, fuses, screwdrivers, spark plug socket and wrench. I am thankful that, when I broke down about 30 miles from home, a fellow rider helped me out with his tools when my fuel filter clogged up.  I am looking forward to helping the next guy who breaks down on the road.

Only cost me $2 for all the stuff.  Give it a try if you carry tools with your bike (and if you don't, why not?).

'cause I don't know what tools to take with me . . . so what should I have with me in my soon-to-be-purchased telephoto lens case?

Mine has a 5 piece metric wrench set, a spark plug socket with wrench, a screwdriver (phillips and flathead, reversible), several fuses, some small allen wrenches, a big wrench just for the rear axle nut, some nuts and bolts, and a Gerber Suspension multitool.
