Tools and Hardware

If it’s rumbling down Interstate 8 to the beach or riding with your Knuckle, Panhead or Shovel ridin’ buddies to your favourite lake in the mountains: even the best cared for Harley, once it has more than 4 or 5 decades on the odometer, every now and then can surprise you with a show-stopping mechanical gremlin, resulting in an unwanted stop by the roadside. So, what do you do, call a tow truck?

Naw. Better to have a tool roll on board with exactly the right assortment of wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers and small parts to get your chopper going again.

That’s why we put together the tool-roll-to-end-all-tool-rolls, filled with over 40 years experience of riding this world’s roads and the knowledge that comes with it; one that really earns the name "Roadside Companion".

Inside you’ll find open ended wrenches in different sizes, an adjustable wrench, a plier wrench, screwdrivers, a test lamp, wire brush, spark plug socket, jumper wire. Added to that an assortment of nuts, bolts, washers, lockwashers, hose clamps, safety wire, zip ties, insulating tape, cotter pins and a clevis pin.

All this has been wrapped up in some heavy gauge (405 g/m²) oiled cotton canvas sourced from the UK. It comes with a GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certificate and has a fold-out flap to keep your knees clean and your small parts from disappearing into the underbrush. Heavy Swedish made leather straps hold everything together.

This breakdown relief kit is insurance against technical issues that can stay in your saddle bags at all times.

Formerly Kreem, now KRM: Recommended for older gas tanks which are rusty or dirty on the inside. Tank prep A & B remove corrosion and prepare the surface for the KRM Sealer. The Sealer cures hairline cracks (not holes!) and its tough white skin permanently seals the tank and permanently protects it against rust. One bottle contains enough sealer for tanks up to 13 liters capacity.

This fast-drying copper sealant is sprayed on the gasket and has the advantage of dissipating heat quickly, which significantly minimizes the risk of burnt-out seals, in places of high temperature development such as exhaust and cylinder head. If sealing surfaces have unevenness, these are filled and immediately completely sealed. Resistant to all automotive fluids, especially gasoline.

Engines with a leaking intake manifold are hard to kickstart and will never run properly. That’s why you need one of these leak testers in your workshop, which will once and for all take the guess work out of your installation job. Just bolt them to your manifold (use the stock gasket!), close both intake valves, by slowly turning the engine and with an air hose hooked-up to the G 1/4” fitting apply up to 10 psi of pressure. Spray soapy water around the gasket and manifold clamps and in case of appearing bubbles you can clearly spot any air leaks in your intake system.
