Title: Perfect fit Toolkit !
Post by: Speedy1959 on Saturday, 03 September 2022, 11:54 AM
Hi All,

Some time ago I bought an "Oxford Motorcycle Toolkit"..
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oxford-Bike-Tool-Kit-Pro/dp/B00YBOT2OG/ref=sr_1_3?adgrpid=54811251762&gclid=Cj0KCQjw08aYBhDlARIsAA_gb0efhccN2EO2GMrERkVpqdXAYNfD-0QhQM3UWcLBw9b93i0q6y1p79caArjMEALw_wcB&hvadid=259047295853&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046573&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11673890239485654444&hvtargid=kwd-314672146725&hydadcr=7263_1742153&keywords=oxford+tool+kit+pro&qid=1662169766&sr=8-3

Yesterday I discovered it fits absolutely perfectly under the seat in place of the original toolkit (which now lives in a drawer at home)..
It literally "wodges" (Technical term) into the place where the original went so you dont even lose any underseat storage!
Photos will explain all :

That looks awesome 😎
In 20+ years of ownership I don't think I've ever even opened my Suzuki supplied one 🤨

The only thing of any real use in the OEM toolkit is the plug spanner and corresponding open ended spanner.

Nice one Speedy, that's going on the shopping list.  The suzuki kit is woeful.  I still have mine under the seat, but never used any of it.

One thing that doesn't have though (and the Suzuki one is woeful but it is there and it kinda works) is a ring spanner for the rear axle nut.

Here is the o.e.m. toolkit Suzuki supply the only things I added were the two spanners , hex keys and a multi size front axle nut which I have a ratchet ring spanner for secured under the seat. Other bits and bobs in the other photo.
