new sissy bar
Recently ordered a sissy bar for my slim. Got the one from raybowtieman - who I read about on this form. Bar should be delivered tomorrow. Anyone know what size torx I will need to remove the strut bolts - the bar is permanent and goes between the struts and fender. I have a set that goes up to a t25 but can't find anyone who sells anything bigger - any ideas.

I don't recall the size, but I recently bought a whole set of them from O'reilly Auto Parts for less than 20 bucks.
Be careful with those bolts, they are tight with some strong thread locker on them. make sure the bit is nice and square in the bolt before you start torquing on them.

Listen to me....IF THOSE BOLTS DONT BACK OUT..you head right to Sears and get the SOLDERING gun that looks like a GUN....dont ask how i know...lol...You heat them bolts till you cant touch them and the end of the gun glows orange they will back right out...if not you will spend more than the 70 bucks it cost...Or get one from a friend..
