Tool kit
I brought my 09 Hyper 1100S home today and did a close inspection of it.Love the bike! But the tool kit and it's location made me laugh.Someone in Bologna has a sense of humour.

Yeah, the rubber o-rings that hold it in are even funnier. Plan on finding another method of securing it as the o-rings break.
I used those plastic-cover wire ties that come with kids toys holding the product in the packaging.

Inside of the left fairing panel behind the forks.There are 3 1/4 turn push pins.It's attached to the inside of that panel.

That shitty tool kit is pretty worthless. The tools provided are not even up to Chinese quality standards. Better off putting together a small assortment of good tools like a mini T handle with sockets, folding allen wrenches, screw driver, pliers, tire plugs and some zip ties. On longer trips, a small air compressor can save the day too.

I replaced my Ducati tools with some that I found in my Erector Set from 1978buried in a dark closet in my parents basement.
