I know there was a post on who made a good tool kit for the Rocket, but I was unable to locate it and my search function will not work on my tablet.

So, can someone post a couple of the best please.

Thanks,

Rick
 
All this talk about tool kits got me reading some old posts. Ordered these last night. $63.00 bucks for the pair at amazone. Pretty cheap insurance. You need a $hit load of equipment to get the rear wheel out of a rocket. No need with these. I didn't get the kit with the CO2 cartridges. Four won't even fill up a normal sized m/c tire. Also as one reviewer pointed out If you have to find the leak (he hit something that didn't stay lodged in the tire) a compressor is the the only way to go.
 
Thanks JRock, Nolton, and Fred. I like that metric set. That previous post had some good info untill it deteriorated:) Really like the jumper cable set up too. I see where they do have a better battery now for us, YTX20HLBS. They should have had this a long time ago.

My 05' still has the original battery and it's still kicking. If I can still buy one just like it I will !

Dead right on the compressor, those CO2 cartridges are useless on a 240 tyre. Keep similar kit permanently in my bags.
 
I have the same gear on my bike, plus a few extras, like a 3/8" ratchet, 12" extension and a 5mm hex key to fit on the end to get to the bolt so I can lift the tank as I have two additional fuse boxes under there.
 
Only carry tools when i'm travelling. Got plug kit and carry 6x CO2 cannisters . Got a really cool little Teng Tools socket set.. about all I've ever needed.... Touch wood ;)
