Tool roll 4 DRZ400

[john pavkovicMember]

Hi guys,
I am looking for a quality tool roll that will fit in the DRZ’s standard pack which is fixed to the rear fender. Iam sure with all the wisdom that floats around this forum that someone can lead me in the rigth direction.

Mick maybe able to help here? His brother supplies KTC tools and they do tool rolls, question is whether they so one that will fit into your standard pack. The tool rolls KTC donated for the Christams party prizes looked very good.

I have a KTC mini tool box and can recommend them for sure.

No good at the moment with the Aussie dollar in the toilet, we will not be importing anything.It dropped to 0.57 cents against theYen this morning. WE made the decision this morning that the bikes I have in Japan are all going up to auction in Japan ASAP, so untill the Aussie dollar stops farting and spluttering,no bikes,tools or dozers coming in from the land of the rising sun for us.

Back on topic, Repco sell a motorcycle tool roll that is relatively cheap.It might pay to take the rear pack off your bike and take it with you to see if it fits before you buy it though.

From experience I wouldn’t put anything in a rear guard bag, the weight of the item bounces around and tears the stitching and you loose the items, I have had it happen twice and I know heaps of people that have had the same happen thats why people wear tool belts, I mean if there was a better way then wearing the things around waist they would do it, but I don’t think there is Putting them in your back pack is bad for your back

Thanks guys,
Once again good advice from all. I havn’t had a problem with shit bouncing around in the pack as yet because it is all strapped down. The plastic tool pouch that you get with the bike inside the pack is starting to show its quality. I am quite fond of the pack on the rear guard as it has stopped me from sliding of a couple of times now so i owe it that at least.
thanks again.

Keep your tools OFF your bike!
Grab a bum bag…a quality one and throw all your tools plus extras in that puppy.

The tool bag on the bike might be better used for a spare tube maybe, plus a spare lever…but never tools!

Why? I’ve lost tools from my bag on the XR plus I’ve lost tools from a cheap bumbag. I now have a ‘proper’ (read one of Porky’s products) and have not lost a tool since.

Also you are sometimes better of going to say Ballards and buying some special tools that can do multiple jobs rather than a heap of spanners, reduces your weight a heap.

Shane’s right, I think anyway tube or something in the back thing, I must admit I hate those rear tool bags for another reason, in that I had a small fall turn nasty because I got caught on it getting away from the bike and was badly hurt and was of the bike for nearly 5 months

good point TB, I bought a Ballards one and it lasted 2 rides!!!

I have one of the little multi tool things and it has most of the stuff I need for my bike. I also carry a small shifter, tyre levers and wheel nut spanner in my camelback without any issues

[Eric SmithMember]

I carry my tools in my camelbak, but there’s not much to it really. Two tyre levers (one dirtbike version, one smaller version), my multi tool thingy (see Favourite Tool thread), a couple of spanners (might break a lever and need to use one as a temporary replacement!) miscellaneous allen and hex bolts, spare tube + patch kit & pressure gauge. Good thing with the WR is that most bolts are either Allen head, 8mm or 10mm hex.

As much as the rear fender bag on the banana was a PITA it has a good rubber strap for the toolkit and I never had anything move from under it. That being said, I didn’t put my main tools in it either, they lived in the camelbak!

I run a small first aid kit in the rear bag on the KLX.
Just purchased a new SCOTT enduro style bumbag(Cause the Scott jacket is sooo good) THANKS SUTTOS
Bumbag fits all the tools I have so far, some extras & a spare clutch lever & still has room for some more yet.

A question on this off subject I know ,,but,,
Do you guys find it best to wear the Bumbag on the GUT or on the BUM????
I have heard that the GUT can be more comy, letting it rest on ya legs (kind of) as ya ride??
