RE: Tri Bar install
I have not had good luck with craftsman torx bits. They seem soft.. They also twist easily and can make life frustrating when trying to get stuff done... Snapon has a good set, and my carquest set is what I use most often...
They are a flat black and might be hardened.... I would not suggest craftsman in this case, unless you live close to sears, and don't mind getting new tools in the middle of the project.....

RE: Tri Bar install
don't tell me that now!
what problems did you have?
Sears is about 2 miles away so it is not a problem. I have never broken a single one of their tools (knock on wood), lets not start now.

RE: Tri Bar install
So did you get it done ? The problem I had was the bolts for the bracket kept spinning but not loosening up . There was so much loctite on them that they wouldnt break free ! I ended up having to take the fender struts off and get it out that way . My bike is also lowered so I didnt have much room to get in there [sm=headbang.gif]

If you bike was lowered thi intall would suck.. it can be done with open end wrenches, and made real easy with a swivel socket...
Crock, you will laugh when you get done at how easy the install was....

RE: Tri Bar install
hopefully. i may go do it right now. i installed the kury leds and they "hyperflash" which means I need to figure out the load equalizer situation. some say the kury one shuts down the flashers. maybe I should have just had the dealer do it. I do not want to start cutting wires apart.
