What the Folding Tool Kit Included

• Torx bits
• Hex bits
• Screwdriver bits (flathead and Phillips head)
• Open-end wrenches (9/16, 1/2 and 10mm)

Compatibility Considerations

It’s crucial to ensure tool kit compatibility with your specific Harley-Davidson model. The folding tool kit was not compatible with bikes manufactured before 2002, or those belonging to the VRSC, XG, or Revolution Max and FLTRXRRSE platforms. [Source: SlashGear]

Finding the Right Tools for Your Harley

To determine the correct tools for your motorcycle, consult your owner’s manual. Alternatively, visit the Harley-Davidson website, enter your bike’s build and model, and order the appropriate tools. While building your own kit can potentially save money, confirming compatibility is essential, as Harley-Davidson parts are not always interchangeable between models.

Third-Party Tool Kit Options

Several third-party tool kits are designed to fit Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The RoadTech H3 Tool Kit is one example, offering wrenches, pliers, a tire gauge, and screwdrivers. However, it’s important to verify that any third-party kit includes the specific tools needed for your Harley model. [Source: SlashGear]
