Below, you will see a list of the items that I choose to include into my tool kit. Please bare in mind that this tool kit was developed specifically for use with my 09 BMW R1200GS. I have built this tool kit around the Mosko Motto Fatty Tool roll. It is my opinion that this Mosko Moto tool roll is one of the finest available. It has four zippered pockets for small parts storage along with plenty of pockets for larger hand tools. This tool roll, along with a few other items that won't fit into the tool roll all combine nicely into an old BMW zippered bag, which combined use less that 1/3 of a pannier. A list of the tools that I carried on this trip is as follows:
