I just bought my first Airhead, a 1975 R90/6. I'm lucky that it came with a toolkit.
I have one empty pocket in the tool roll. Is anything missing?:dunno If so, what?

10x12 closed end wrench
small (red? yellow?) screwdriver

can't recall when they started including them, but yours might also be missing 7x8 and 19x22 open end wrenches.

Here's a page from a /6 rider's manual that I found on-line:

You're missing quite a few wrenches plus the big 27/36mm wrench for getting at the swingarm nut and the front fork cap nut. Also the hook wrench for tightening the steering stem nut.

I have all of the tools; but getting them packed into the "package" seems to be beyond me. I never could get the round pegs into the round holes. Does anyone have a picture of a "packed" tool kit that shows how this is done?.......Thanks.........Dennis

Yeah; that kit is woefully inadequate. :nono Send it to me and I'll be sure it's disposed of properly. Fortunately, someone was kind enough to do the same with the original kit from mine, so I thought I'd pass along the favor ... :whistle

Thank you Kurt. Two great links with some great info. I didn't get an owners manual so this is really great stuff.

Package is on it's way! Can't say thank you enough.

BTW, I been having a bit of trouble with my shipper, Airborne Express (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airborne_Express).... :laugh
