The first thing I did after buying my 750 was look for the stock tool kit as it was missing. After seeing originals for 70 bucks on eBay (yea right) I pieced it together from websites like Bike Bandit and other.

Ended up getting every original tool and the pouch for something like $27. Add some patches, bailing wire, fuses, a knife, some feeler gauges and an adjustable wrench and I can strip the bike to the frame on the side of the road if I have to.
Not putting miles on your bike is like not having sex with your Girl Friend so she'll be more desirable to her next Boy Friend.

I have made this comment before.  The tool kits in these things are incredible.  You can almost take the bike completely apart with them.  Wouldn't want to but you could.
