Heres some tools I use on my bike, im not really brand specific because, as nick says, as long as it will turn a bolt it works, and 2. I'm not a real mechanic so I don't need the snap-on stuff that my mechanic friends that work at dealerships swear by. I mainly use crapsman and I have a BUNCH of partsmaster tools that was given to me. Free is great and they are lifetime warranty like crapsman. I have hex socket set 2mm-16mm, those things are great!!!! Definitely a good investment, I use them alot. I found 2mm t handle wrenches for .99 at Fastenal, these are great for your fairing bolts I bought a few extra and gave to friends Also in my toolbox I have 3/8 metric socket set and ratchets/breaker bars Also if you ever take your axles off or tripple clamp or anything with large nuts your gonna need larger sockets, you can SOMETIMES substitute large sae sockets for metric sockets if you don't have large metric ones on hand. also adjustable wrenches sometimes work too also have 1/4 and 3/8 torque wrenches from *harbor freight* but the only things i ever torque is if i'm working on any engine parts. BTW if anyone wants to bitch about me having HF TW's, keep in mind I use them like twice a year and can't justify $300 for a snap on TW. I got like 4 toolbox's full of other tools....but these are the main ones I use on my bike.
