Thanks. Yeah, the battery and the bottom fork cap are 2 that come to mind. Most others were imperial from memory, l'm wondering if that's still the case...

most of the time there is a metric counterpart that fits well in place of an imperial size tool, you pretty much have to have a set of each these days with the emphasis on imperial for harley machines.
