Impressive fit, looking to do something like this too. All I have is a tire plug but it takes up a lot of space.
Roadside emergency kit ideas
2
Track guys and racers, this probably isn't for you.
I cut my teeth with dual sports and adventure bikes. This ones a new animal for me but some habits die hard.
I wanted some small kit that would allow me some resources to deal with typical breakdown stuff while riding the pavement but without bags of stuff strapped to the bike.
Obviously space is extremely limited.
Here is what I have come up with so far:
Left to Right:
I estimated the number of co2 carts based on past experiences with other bikes and its not apples to apples at all. I will be testing how many it takes to get up to street PSI. Based on what I know for other slightly different tubed tires (150/70/17) and lower pressures, 3 is enough. I think I will be in the ballpark with 4 to at least "get on down the road" and find a gas station or something while taking it easy.
I will keep fine tuning this, only so much room to work with and I am trying to be realistic about whats most likely that can be dealt with but right now it all fits in the bag, on the bike, in the tail (with tidy and a bracket removed):
I can provide links for just about all of it but the case - I got that from Frys maybe? it was in my work stuff and I know Ive had it for years.
Main goal is to get anyone like minded thinking about what may be best for their situation.
I fully admit, a road side coverage plan is cheap enough and easy enough - I just like to deal with things on my own, or at least the stuff I can plan for
What am I looking at next:
tender/jump start battery harness
small tool kit (needs more, but....space..) think I can augment with a couple common sockets and small wire cutters

Here is what I have come up with so far:
Left to Right:
- 4 air gun co2 carts
- CO2 tire filler
- 7" schrader valve extension
- decent tire pressure gage
- small vice grips
- plug-n-go tire tools
- tire plugs with valve cores, valve core tool, valve stem caps
- spare plug-n-go tool ends
- 2x every fuse in the fuse blocks w/fuse remover clampy tool
- paint can opener/scraper but also beer bottle opener
- case
