Wow, nice stuff! You'll have to put your stuff up in the Vendor area; I bet you'll get a lot of hits for your products.

Hey Tom!! I was happy to help. Wonder if you can "copy & paste" and put your post in Vendors, too? All the best to you.

Where did you find that little bag? is it the same length as the tube or shorter?

from this guy:

he makes everything to order, it was $10 and fits the tube perfectly, filling the whole thing + what's in the cap.
it's actually longer than the tube, my pic above has it filled with goodies and all the way down.

Will I still be able to utilize my helmet lock? I couldnt tell from the pictures. It looks like I could make it work but unsure. Very exicited about this though!!

The does not interfere with the helmet holder. This Kit is sano.

Just back from big Bend riding for 4 days and used the tool kit several times to help out fellow riders.
had a lot of reaction from dirt riders about the R. One fellow has changed his mind about a DR 650 just from looking at mine and talking several times with him.
The little R kept up with the best of them on a high speed run into Mexico. They could not loose me in the dirt either.
Best bike choice I ever made .I have had well over 50 bikes.

Tool Tube

I'm not the first to go here, but every install is a little different. This one is easy and illustrated.

As much as I appreciate the compactness and flimsy mounting of the stock tool kit, it’s immediately overdue for replacement, not to mention replacing half the tools.



The Agri-tool tube is a common motorcycle storage accessory, and for good reason. They’re strong, lightweight, water tight, reasonably sized, and inexpensive. I’ve heard that you can buy them from your local farm store for $6. Urban myth? I don’t know, don’t have a farm store in my city. By the time I get it shipped, find a cool, zippered pouch that fits perfectly, and some associated mounting and locking hardware, I’m about in for what I could buy online as a kit. So here’s a plug for thetooltube.com. It was $46 delivered, and the service was impeccable, hence the plug. I dig these things, will probably buy more just to figure out how to implement them.

Mounting the standard size tube to the WRR is a pretty simple affair.

The gory details

Note - the passenger peg and bracket are removed. I removed the right-side peg as well since just one won't do. I left the mounting bracket though as it seems to offer a little protection.

A little plastic trimming on the tube flange.


A whack or two with the hammer on the upper strap hook makes room for cap removal.


Another tool tube done!

Ok, all the tool tube posts are in one spot. They were scattered all over.
