Tools On the Road

PanAm Roadside Companion Tool Kit I-8
PanAm Roadside Companion Tool Kit I-8
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. It also serves as a basic workshop starter set for those who are new to riding old hogs. Plus you get the chance to provide help to other riders in a bind, thus making you a true roadside companion yourself.

The tool kit »I-8 Roadside Companion« by PanAm is optimized for pre 1969 Harley models with distributor or magneto ignition.

On The Road Again!

For Harley-Davidson long-distance riders, we have a wide range of tool rolls in our on-board tool section - equipped with the selection of tools that experience has shown are needed, or also unequipped - which contain a basic stock of equipment to be able to carry out repairs or maintenance work at the roadside. If you prefer to compile your own motorcycle tools for the road, our range shows - as already mentioned - unequipped tool rolls, tool boxes and tool bags in a wide variety of designs. All tools and rolls by PanAm with the back-up of decades of experience, including on the PanAmericana. Of course, all tools from the PanAm Roadside Companion tool rolls are also available individually, to buy later or if you already own another brand tool roll.

If you don't trust your battery - yes, of course, everything is getting on in years - take an Antigravity Microstart on your journey. If you don't have to jump-start your hog, you at least are able to help out your buddies or have a power bank with you in case there is no socket available to recharge your smartphone halfway up the Hindu Kush.

The classic Harley-Davidson toolboxes from the early years up to the end of the 1950s can also be used for small items other than tools or spare spark plugs. For example, a tube of PanAm Pan-A-Grease or a pile of PanAm towels and some jumper wires.
