Because of the limited space given behind my Vance-Hines pipes, I cannot get the size on the allen wrench opening. I know that I will need a six sided bar-stock to get there unless I remove the exhaust pipes.
Nothing I have will bend enough to get in there. A really TIGHT spot!
The H-D shop manual does not list a wrench size, just open and check level and tighten up.

Thanks for the help.

Its just that there is NO room to get anything in to be certain. And seeing as I have run into a few metric nuts/bolts/plugs, I was just wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head.

I suppose that I could make a clay model and use a borrowed set of micrometers to be certain, but everyone here seems to know everything.

Thanks again.

JC

I use a 3/8 allen socket on a 1/4 inch drive with a flexible spring extension that I bought on Amazon for $17. It should bend around the pipes.

Just changed all my fluids today, and yeah, that one's a PITA...
I use a swivel socket to get in there...
