Recommend me a compact socket set.
 
A compact socket set!

I'm after a small socket set for under the bike seat. Anyone got a suggestion?
I know Bahco do a compact one but it looks like it has been discontinued.

Thanks in Advance
Andy

Not a socket set but I put together a basic tool kit based on http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=148963&page=2 - it all goes in the SV tool bag.

At a push I can get it, a can of air repair, spare gloves and a micro fleece under the back seat.

This is a nice little set from Halfords. I have one of these for that very purpose I take it with me on weekend aways, but can't remember if it fits under an SV seat as I keep it in a tail pack.

Cheers SH, I had a feeling Halfords did one as a larger kit

think about what you need to do at the side of a road...

anything major is out so all you need are basics for changing plugs, tightening chain plus a split link and electrical bitz and pizez.

a good quality (bacho) adjustable wrench, allan keys with a good lever bar mad from 8x6mm and about 6'' long, spark plug wrench and some electrical tape, small snips, tyre repair kit.

as i said anything major and its relay time so why not just stick an AA/RAC card under there instead.

^^^ This. Day to day i don't carry any tools with me, no point or need for it. When i go away for the weekend i take a small tool kit that would be capable of small road side repairs/emergency fixes.
End of the day i've got roadside assistance, only £50 for the year (UK and Europe cover) and is good for piece of mind
