I got a set of torx and allen's that would fit my 3/8" drive socket. Sometimes, you have to short stroke bolts and being able to use a socket wrench saves a ton of time. Get a couple of replacement bulbs and fuses and carry them on your bike somewhere. Also, I'd suggest getting a small flashlight to carry as well.

 

Did anybody mention a 5/8" sparkplug socket?

 

My battery terminals are 10mm.

 

Craftsman gets my vote also, but watch the in/lbs. torque wrench. I was going to purchase one, but the lowest reading on the scale was till higher than some of the torque values for the various nuts and sockets on the bike. As far as T-27 Torx bits go, I found an entire card of them, I think there were 6 in all at Home Depot in the tool department where they have the individual screwdriver bits. T-27 is found on the derby cover, I think the timer cover and handlebar switches. Using a too small or too large Torx makes things a real mess.

 

Why is that?????

 

If your asking about Torx, they can be a major PITA to work with, allens are more user friendly. If your asking about the 10mm, don't know it came that way.

 

I have a Craftsman torque wrench that ranges from 10 t 75 ft. lbs. There are some torque specs that call for inch lbs., but I just wing it there. I have a Torx socket set that went up to T-50 and found out that I needed a T-55 at some point. I also have a hex socket set because a simple Allen wrench set won't do if you need to tighten down to a specific torque setting. I've always had a s*** load of tools.

Like my S&W 44 Magnum and Walther P99, they can have my tools when they pry them from my cold dead fingers!!!
