WHat TOOl kit DO YOU HAVE, suggestions for begginner
Well, i have made the commitment to be a biker rather than the next fool in the car :P
so i cranked out my tool kit (all 5 peaces) then realized that i couldn't do jack sh** for tuning etc without a decent tool kit.
ANy recommendations to what i need in my 'mans' toolkit :P ,
so far on my list i got torque wrench and soldering gun....... =]
i want to add angel eyes, neons, new exhaust, left footpeg and pedal need replacing along with the left handle bar and weight (got bent when i dropped her), spark plugs + a K&N air filter :P
thanks all

I personally used to ride around with a craftsman metric bike kit...but then someone told me, that it's not needed because I have a Honda...
Now for home, I do have a full metric set (now with sockets up to 26). I also found these things invaluable for my bike:
Multimeter (link)
Non-mercury based Synchronizer (link)
Auxiliary tank (link or link)
Motorcycle Tire Changer (link)
A piece of metal rebarb (needed thinner pipe for friend's axle)
A long pipe (comes with tire changer)
Wheel balancer (link)
Carb tuning tool (not for fuel injected of course)
Block and Tackle to hold the front of bike off the ground when dealing with front forks.
Chain lube
Brake cleaner
Starter fluid

... woo's right, no need for tools. BUT if you feel you must have em,
i got a pretty standard metric kit and blended the honda kit with it. only special items you need for basic maintinence you should get a
MANUAL
chain press
front and rear stands
angel eyes are a cakewalk, k&n is as easy as it gets, exhaust is easy too. just remember when youre working on your bike, its not a person that will die if you mess up. read your manual and have fun learning about honda engineering as you take it apart and put it back together
