Torx Sizes Question
I have a Service Manual and the Parts Manual and can't figure out what Torx sizes to use on different bolts.
Example: Part# 3880 reads "SCREW, 1/2-13 X 2-1/4 TORX recessed button hd."
This does not say the Torx size to use? is there a way to figure this out? In the manual it will sometimes list the exact Torx size to use but not always.
Any help would be appreciated.

DJaudette is correct, the T27 is necessary for a Harley. There are sets that include it, but you will need to look specifically for them. I just bought a rachet drive set at Lowes for about 25 bucks that has it. I do not know what year/model you are working on, but for general purpose stuff, You should have T15,T20,T25,T27, T30 and T35 around at a minimum. Electronics and PCs use T9 periodically, as well.

A sure way to figure it out is buy a whole set (with T27) and size the fasteners up as needed. I recommend a 3/8 drive set that can be used on a torque wrench

RavenBlack, give us a clue! Where is this screw used? We can help you better with some more info.
The sizes I use on my bike (which has a mix of parts from many years) are: T10, T15, T20, T27, T40, T45.
