Bagger tool kit recommendations

I'm looking for ideas for a ready-made tool-kit-in-a-bag or similar that is specific to Harleys or even to '01 Road Kings. Yes, I have lotsa tools at home but they are (for the most part) not ideal for stowing on the bike. The wrench I use for the Axle nut is 15" long for instance. Something that has "travel" versions of the bigger stuff perhaps.
Better quality tools, USA preferred. Anyone have a good product in mind?

I'll show you my set in Junction that I got at NAPA. Has worked out well for me.

I've got a set of these in the tool box on the 'Train. They're decent (not great) quality, and it's got nearly everything I'll ever need. I'd love to get the Snap-On kit, but I think I may just build my own.

Built my own. Found a nice tool roll at a swap meet. Stubby 3/8" socket, common sockets, spark plug socket, common combination wrenches, torx sockets, 15 in one screwdriver, leatherman, lock wire, duct tape, zip ties, etc. Rolls up neat and has come in handy on several occasions.

Luckily never on my ride.

I have a craftsman set that I got for about $40. I've added some things, and taken others away. Figured I used it once to do a service and had everything once I did the mods to the kit. If it don't work, I'll fall back on the credit card and cell phone.

I found this interesting widget...might be a handy addition
Good Place For Link

I dont have any idea of the quality.

I guess that is the reason for this thread; I can look around the interweb and have, and can find some interesting looking products. The problem is that I can't tell from the pics what is decent or what is really cheapo crap.
I'm hoping for some recommendations from those who have had a look at some of this stuff.
