I've tried searching here in the forum, on YouTube, on Google, and in the FSM. I'm trying to swap out my pipes, and I need remove the pulley cover, so that I can remove the crossover pipe, and install the bracket. There are three bolts holding it on. I have the two smaller ones out, but I need to go in the morning and buy a socket to get the third one out. (The larger one to the rear.) Can one of you fine folks tell me what size allen head socket I need to buy?

Thanks!

 

Not sure if 2009 Iron is the same as my XL1200L....if it is the larger one on the pulley cover holding the rear exhaust bracket, mine is an #8 allen

 

Not sure on the size, but I was able to get a set from home depot for $10-15 that had 10 or so sockets. The set had all the heads needed for the job.

 

Awesome! Thank you fine gentlemen for your assistance.

Later!

 

Definitely get a set...std & metric...you'll use/need them.

 

Thanks again all for the excellent advice. I have a Harbor Freight close by, so I dropped in and got a set of metric and SAE, and a set of Torx bits, along with a few other things that fell into the cart. (That seems to happen a LOT a Harbor Freight....LOLOL)

The bit required for the bolt in question was a 5/16". New pipes are now installed, and fuel remapping is done.

I'll post up a pic later. Thanks again!

 

Here's the way it used to look.....



Here's ow the pipes look now....



It also has black Progressive shocks, but you've seen plenty of pics of that.

Later!

 

Looks nice

 

Thanks. However, when I ran the bike, the orange burned out, and is now a sickly brown. I have some titanium on order, and the orange will be replaced. You can see it on the pics I uploaded to Amazon with my 1 star review:
