Start with the basics:

 Metric box end tool set: 19mm,17mm,15mm, 14mm, 13mm, 12mm, 11mm, 10mm
  (You can also use the 22mm for some of the larger bolts.

 Metric socket set: Same as box end. Hopefully they will have a 3 inch and
6 inch extention.

Flat blade and Phillips screwdrivers

Wire cutters, electrical tape

Funnel for oil
Funnel for coolant

Rags for wiping down
Paper towels and hand cleaner for when you're done.
I get the surgical type gloves so I don't have grease
under my nails but that's just me.

Volt/Ohm meter (get a cheap one.  The stuff you're going to test
isn't going to be that complicated.

Bentley Manual

Spare quart (or 2) of oil
Gallon of Antifreeze.
Quart of ATF Dextron for power steering

Bottle of water for hydration

That's a good start.

91 Westy
