Can anyone tell me what torx wrench sizes I will need to work on my 2006 Sportster 883? I am currently replacing the air filter that has 3 torx bolts and I am not sure what size wrench to buy for that.
Sorry, I can't tell you the size you are looking for. I will suggest, however, that if you are going to wrench on your bike at all beyond this project, you consider getting a full set through T-40. Should be about $20-$30 at any big box or smaller hardware store. Torx is a pretty common fastener on these bikes. I've had to use multiple wrenches on the same job many times...
Hopefully, someone can actually answer your specific question, though...
