I'm looking for a replacement/improved tool kit to carry on my 2001 Sprint RS.

I was looking at the Cruz Tools EconoKit M1/M2.

Any one with any opinion on the quality and substance of these kits?  Never saw one or held one.   And I can't find size specs on their site.  Certainly am looking for something that'll fit under the seat.

Any other suggestions...will be well-received.

I bought a kit last year. The quality seems very good, and the tool roll has room for additional special tools your bike might need. I've been hauling around a mixed bag of tools for years, so it was nice to have a clean, complete setup.

I had a cruz toolz kit (SAE) for a bike I used to have, a Buell Lightning.  The kit was nice and small enough to go under the seat of a sport(ier) bike.  Tool quality seemed average.  I would recommend it.  

If you have the tools already, you can get a tool pouch.

I've got two of these



I think it was swag from Honda Rider's club.  They've worked well the few times I've used them.

Make your own.  That's what I did.  Replace all the tools with quality bits from Sears, Snap-on, Mac or whatever you prefer.

I have the Roadgear tool pouch, and have made up a toolkit that's a mixture of the stock tools and some I've added. To the stock Suzuki toolkit I've added a 3/8" drive ratchet, along with one of the metal strips used to hold sockets. I shortened it so it will hold 6,8,10,12, and 14mm sockets, along with a universal drive and a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter. I also keep one short extension. I upgraded to a good pair of Craftsman pliers, since the ones with the toolkits are usually the cheapest tool in the bag. I also found a 4 in 1 screwdriver of decent quality so I have 2 phillips and 2 straight sizes in one screwdriver. I added an adjustable wrench to handle aftermarket hardware which is sometimes SAE instead of metric, or a 13mm head instead of 12mm. There are 2 different allen wrenches, along with some old feeler gauges and a small point file tucked in there also.
