Tool Kit for 1200GS

[fisherman]

Does anyone know where I can get a pre assembled basic tool kit for my 1200GS. Please keep in mind that I am no mechanic.

Thanks

You can put your own together using this list:

Head to Sears and you'll be all set.

The dealer will sell you one for about $80. Or, do as David says and make up your own like I did!

 

 

I got a little carried away!

The best advice I was given was this:

Once you build the kit, make any repairs using only what you have in the kit. That way you know what you would need on the road.

BTW, BMW Santa Cruz has a few storage bags that are great for tools, etc. ie. the tail and handlebar bags.

Maybe you could just hire Jim to follow you around.

 

I did what David mentioned. That site (Lewis', not Sears) has lots of good info.

ROFL!

So, Jim. Couldn't fit the floor jack into the frame?

BTW, uh, where do you sit on the bike? Doesn't look like there's any room for you!

It all fits in my left Jesse bag. Takes up about half of it. I am good at packing! Um, that didn't sound good?

 

Anyhow, I usually only carry all of that on trips. I fill the small bag for short rides and around the area.
