Kriega Tool Roll

Hello!

A basic tool kit is a must-have on every motorcycle. But when buying a used motorcycle, it often happens that you don’t get the OEM tool kit with the bike. Such thing happened to me when I bought my KLE. So for two years I have been riding around without the basic tools on the bike, but luckily I didn’t need them. So better to be safe than sorry I bought myself a Kriega tool roll and will be kitting it out with all the tools I think I will need on the road or trail (list of tools I will use is at the bottom).

Here is the tool roll folded up (135 x 225mm):

It is strapped together with a Velcro:

Unfolding it:

When fully opened, it is quite big. Looking at pictures on the web, I didn’t imagine the size of it. It says on the web that it is 550 x 225mm when unfolded, but when I measured it including the flaps it is 600x330mm. Max tool length to still be on the inside of the flaps would be 225mm, but I would suggest 220mm. There is a lot of elastic loops for keeping the tools in place.

There is also a coated-mesh zip pocket on the left side of the roll for all those small items like spare fuses, patches, some wires,…

Kriega has a 10-year guarantee on this tool roll, which is one of the longest guarantees I have ever seen anywhere. I doubted that the materials and build quality would be that good but now that I have it in my hands I am very impressed. The whole thing is made out of 1000D Dupont Cordura and the zipper is YKK. Here take a look:

Now all I have to do is to fill it up with tools. Here is a list of what I will be putting in before the season for riding opens.

My tool kit:
Allen keys: 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8
Wrenches: 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 17, 21 and 24 (MP Combo lever)
Screwdrivers: Philips #2, #3; flat 7mm
Pliers or a Leatherman multi-tool
OEM spark plug tool
Tyre irons
Patches and glue
Wires and zip-ties
Hand/CO2 pump

So after 2 years and changing the bikes in between I have revised my tool kit. Kriega tool bag is still looking like new. Well here is my current tool kit, without tyre irons.
