I was putting together a few small tools for my bike bag. In the back of my truck, I have a tool box. On a bike, you obviously can't carry a big box full of tools.
These are for emergency use. Hopefully, I'll never use them. But if I am on the side of the road, this is easier than fumbling around with loose sockets. At least I'll be able to easily find the socket that I need, without a dozen loose sockets everywhere.

Depends on what kind of bike. The black tube running parallel to the muffler opposite the rear tire is my tool box, compact and plenty of room for everything I might need including tire tools and a jacking system to get one end or the other off the ground, bolted right in place. I run a DR 650se dual sport. Also most bike shops have little multi pack kits for every type of bike fairly cheap.
I ride an American, with mostly SAE and some Torx. What I do try to do is have both SAE and metric sizes. You never know who may need a tool, and plenty of other people ride metric bikes. My friends ride sports bikes and metric cruisers. The way that I tape the sockets, it makes it easier. I carry an extendable ratchet handle with 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive, which helps because you can't get small sizes in 3/8" drive, and you can't get larger sizes in 1/4" drive. It saves from carrying 2 ratchet handles, and the extra lengths gives more leverage. Every time I can find a wrench with 2 sizes, it cuts down on how many wrenches I'm carrying.

I sort of mimic what they sell to you. Plus a few extra items.
The only thing "cheap" about this set of tools, is the quality of the tools. The price isn't cheap. Although I could be wrong, but it looks like a bunch of cheap tools with a high price tag. Reminds me of how Ford Dealership Parts Departments have those horrible tools with a Ford logo.
Ride a leaker ehh? My oil stays in the crankcase where it belongs, not the driveway. Just yankin' yer chain lol. You should have plenty of room on the hog for a tool box. When my joints don't work like they still do I'll likely get an Indian cruiser, my brother had a Harley.
For now, I like a bike I can have dance under me not one that I MUST drive and the fun doesn't stop when the pavement does.
P.S. I must admit though, I use the same metric pumper carb as Harley does or did (Mikuni). Beats the hell out of the bs vacuum carb it came with.
For the price, this is not a bad option. It's missing a few sizes. But you can buy those as loose single sockets, and cram them into the box. If you don't have anything else, a simple socket set like this helps.
