Default Air Cleaner help

Hello all;
I purchased my first HD, a 2007 Heritage Softail Classic, a few months ago. The prior own had added a bunch of very nice chrome parts but really skimped on the aircleaner and added a Screaming Eagle trim "donut" that attaches via some type of adhesive. Well the darned thing is coming off and because I need any reason to justify my own additions, I decided to purchase an air cleaner trim ring. I attempted to install it today and found that I don't own an allen wrench large enough for the aircleaner bolt.

Does anyone know what size that sucker is?

I would appreciate any help in that matter.

Welcome to the Forum!
Get the full set that goes from .05 to 3/8. You'll use most of them.

A full set is pretty cheap compared to just buying one wrench.

You will want to purchase a good quality full set of allen and a set of Torx bits , not some cheap harbor freight made in china set.
