Default Long Torx sockets

Anyone know where I can get some long torx sockets? I would rather not order them online since I already did that and they got lost in shipping. I tried using my regular torx to tighten the foot peg mount but it was too short to reach. So until I can tighten the foot peg mount I cannot use my stirrups. Also anyone know what size the mounting torx screw is? Thanks

I am a mechanic so I got mine from my local snap-on dealer. I'm betting you could also get them from craftsman as well.

They are 3/8X16 If you change them to allen head cap screws you won't have to bother with the POS torx head tools.

I got a good set of combination torx and allen sockets with adjustable wratched (Cobalt Brand) from Lowes. So far I havent found one thing they havent fit on my bike. It was close to $50 but is a really good set of tools.

Are the long? They need to be at least 3 inches lons. I already have some, but they are too short.

I have forward controls. My torx socket is plenty long enough to fit in there. the socket head is small enough in diameter to fit in the female end of the peg mount there so you can add an extention for your socket wrench...I am not sure exactly how long the socket is in length though, It did easily install and uninstall all the parts on my forwards true enough.
