Default Torx bit size for 99 sporty sissy bar mounting plate

I have just purchased a new Khrome werks sissy bar for my 99 Sportster. I have done all of my maintenance on my bike and I have collected a ton or random tools and bits. I normally can find what i need to buy online but for this project I am having a real hard time finding the correct Torx bit I need to remove the current sissy bar mounting plate from the fender (turn signal bar). Its smaller then a T45 but I really would rather not have to buy a complete Torx kit to do this job. If you could please help me out.

Take a piece of paper,, hold it against the bolt and press hard with your thumb. You'll get a nice imprint of the Torx hole,,

When I needed one I rode my bike to O'Reilly's and they let me take a couple out to see which size fit.

I don't know which bit you need for that bike, but I'd just buy the set. You're probably gonna use it eventually!

Sears has a very nice 42 pic torx , hex set on sale all this week for 29 bucks . It's 70% off set # is 00934845 this is a must have if you got $29 bucks !

Agree, if you own a Harley, you need a complete set of torx wrenches.
