Like every cook has a set of knives he can handle blindly, every overlander knows which tools he carriers. After I bought the Mosko Moto Tool Roll, I started filling it with my tools. I applied the following approach (which I had to correct later): I loaded my tool roll with tools, worked on my bike, and if I needed additional tools they were added to the roll. After a while it became so bulky you could perform Schwarzenegger bicep curls. This was not what I could carry with me!
The mistake I made was by starting off wrong. Instead of filling the roll with tools at the beginning, I had to keep it empty and only add pieces that were needed during maintenance jobs. The result was a much lighter roll, carrying on the essential tools which fit on both bikes (it's a combination of my own tools and the Transalp onboard tool kit).
