What size Allen key ?
What size Allen key ?
I bought My Wife a 08 XL1200L and a engine
guard. I can't get any SAE or Metric hex sets
to fit the bolts to remove the horn.
A 7/64ths is too loose, and a 6 metric is
too large. Help !!!!

T-50 did the job, thank You everyone !

I was sent this in the way of help, but I already<br/>knew what two bolts to remove, just can't<br/>find the right size hex key, and I own about<br/>40 hex keys That I've tried. Either too big<br/>or too small.

You sure it's Allen? Could it be torx? However, there is a 9/64 and a 5/32 and a 3/16 and a 13/64 allen wrench before the 6MM.. The 13/64 and 6MM are mostly interchangeable. 3/16 is very common. 10 MM is very common. Bet they have loctite on them too, so read the manual and use it if called for. Horns vibrate loose.

You can see that image you were sent on any of the on-line parts websites. Part #3 is a Torx, which is not hexagonal like an allen key, so you will need a new set of Torx keys, available at most decent tool stores. Make sure you get a set with T27 in it, which is not always included, but will pop up around your 'new' bike somewhere soon.
Thanks for all Your advice and help. It was a t-50
and I am now just in the process of putting
the engine guard top bolts with the horn
bracket attached. Nice to have the right
tool for the right job.
