Default Torx Wrench Sizes

Hi,

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.

Thanks,

Razzledog

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...

Default Thanks for the reply Ragner

Thanks for the reply Ragner. I was thinking of buying a set as well. Just want to be sure I get all the sizes I would need.

T-27 is a size that always seems to pop up with me that is not very common in sets.

Agreed. On my earlier Harley I use sizes T10, T15, T20, T27, T40, T45, although I have other sizes as well.
