I don't like the way Honda uses so many different types/sizes of screws on one part. It requires multiple trips to the tool box that I don't believe are necessary.
On my FJR, If I am not pulling the wheels, I can do almost all the maintenance with 8, 10, 12, 14, and 17mm wrenches (sockets are handy, though), 3 Allen wrenches, and 3 Torx wrenches. The tupperware on a Series III though is a PITA. It's like a wooden Chinese puzzle that snaps together, then uses a handful of fasteners, mostly hidden, to bolt the plastic to the frame. Access to the battery and fuses is also a little tricky.
I'm with Karl. My tool kit I carry when I travel is my AAA tow card, my cell phone, and my VISA card. Handles pretty much anything, but I've never had to use it.

I travel with 20 lbs. of tools (I weighed my tool bag), including an air compressor and a tire patch kit. It's a carryover from my old Britbike days. I have never used any of the tools on the road, but I have lent tools to broke down bikers twice.
It is partially "the umbrella philosophy": If you carry an umbrella, it won't rain, but the first time you forget it . . .
I have a theory about bike theft. My hunch is that bikes like the NT or the Connies I owned before it are pretty safe from theft. Harleys and sport bikes are much more likely to be stolen. So far, that theory has worked for 18 years.
FJR's are also under represented. There aren't many of them, and they are pretty reliable so there's no great demand for parts.
