I picked up a nice set at Sears. Or you can get kit at the HD dealer to store on the bike. You're need all the way up to size 50.

Make sure you get a T-27 as well as not all kits come with the 27.

if you don't want to spend the $'s for Snap-on, get Kobalts at Lowes...made in USA(although wrenches and sockets arent anymore)...much better than Craftsman

I bought mine from Cornwell Tools... I love them! A little expensive, but it's guaranteed for life. Don't break as easy as the Craftsman brand do. You can find it cheaper then this eBay seller is trying to get. I think I paid like $130, on the actual Cornwell truck.

Here is the set I have...

I like craftsman but apparently others dont. I did have a torx break but sears replaced it no problem. Took a whole 3 minutes.
If you dont want to spend much, look for one of those tool truck load sales if they have them in your area. We are always having the Cummings tool sales coming to a place about 300' from my house and taking all my money. But you get what you pay for,.

Craftsman has a lower cost line now called Evolv. Cheap Chinese made. I stay with the higher priced USA made items and have never been disappointed. Broke a screwdriver and it was replaced instantly.

The standard Torx sets don't have the T27 but it's available separately.
