Cruz Tools Speedkit
Considering that the factory tool pouch contains almost no tools (screwdriver, hex key allen wrench, fuse puller), I decided to spring for one of the Speedkit options manufactured by Cruz Tools. The tools are of decent quality and with the kit tucked away inside of the pouch that is included, fits nicely in the space underneath the seat on the CB1100.

While I have little expectation of using these tools any time soon, I like having a few tools on had at all times — just in case.

While I would probably not do too much road-side repairing, the scant tool pouch is not too important to me. BUT...I think it should have at least included a rear shock adjustment tool. That's not a common tool.

I agree, luckily I have one in my tool collection from past motorcycles. Not sure how you would adjust the rear shock without one.

My 'Canadian' tool kit included the spanner for the rear shocks...

RE: Cruz Tools Speedkit
The part breakout on the compter at the dealer shows the toolkit contains a shock spanner. But it doesn't have it included in the US apparently.

They could get the Honda one for around 16 bucks, but I bought their aftermarket one for 9 and change.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!
