I bought this took kit years ago... but I'm not sure what year Harley it's from. Is it a WLA kit? OR did they just use a olive drab roll for all bikes? Also another picture of two "flat" wrenches... ??

How long is the adjustable on the right, Jim?
My collection are all eight to nine inches, but yours looks shorter, which is delightful if it is.
(Note how the one in Rubone's last pic is whacked.)
The octagonal spanners suggest hose or bung fittings to me,..

The pouch appears military. The similarity of the small chainbreaker and pliers with Rubone's las pic is poignant, no doubt.
Indian kits were hodge-podges too:

Fire-fighting still comes to mind.

Thanks Cotten, none of my tools say Indian... so that would leave them out. I can't make out what the words are on my tool wrap. I searched the numbers, but that didn't show any results worth mentioning. But, it's a cool set I have nevertheless. I'll have to look closer at my pliers to see what "words" are on them.Jim

About your screwdriver, Jim,..
It looks like maybe its a knob at the base of the blade, instead of a crimped collar. Does it unscrew to release the blade?
Are there two ends to the blade?

Cast Indian tools were made by Vlchek, along with lots of other period tools for a variety of makes. The hammer/tire spoon is for clinchers. Stamped tools by H-D and Indian both appear to have been made in house.
