Is it torck sockets I need and what size range?
Well I'm in the middle of changing out my bars and cables.I just discovered it looks like I need torck sockets. I purchased torck bits when I bought my bike but I guess I overlooked the sockets. Could someone please tell me the size range that would be good for a 2010 Wide Glide? Thanks

Get a whole set from t10 to t60.
switch housings are t25
master cylinder and clutch perch are t27 as is the derby cover.
T27 is a must. alot of stuff is t40
You will need some allens too both regular and ball allen from 5/32 to 3/8

Be sure to buy "quality" torx sockets.... the T27 I bought from snap-on was $27... and well worth it. The cheap ones scarf up, twist and will strip screw heads. JMO

torx
Ithink that the OP is talking abiut needing sockets not bits He said he had bits.Some replys are about bits.And also about the bit sizes HD uses torx plus screws.Standard torx bits will strip some screws no matter what quailty they are.

Yuh, I just got through monkeying around with a T27 on my switch housing and it stripped it a litlle bit. Easy to do. But I'm pretty sure it'll be okay for at least one more R&R. Prolly. If not, then I'll have to buy another bolt the same size.

torks+
I think some of you are missing the point.Torks and torks plus are different sizes.Harley uses torks plus screws.Torks will go into the Harley screws but they are a loose fit and wiil sometimes strip out the head of the Harley screws.The torks plus bits will not go into a standard torx screw.Google Torx and they will explain it better.
