Default Torx bolt size?

Does anyone know the size and length of the three torx bolts on the back of the headlight shell on softail slims and fatboys? OEM part # is 941. Thanks!

P/N 943 is a T27.

I would guess, and seeing what they're used for, that the 941 is a T25.

Edit - It just occurred to me that you're probably looking for thread pitch and diameter. In that case, I got nothin'.

Maybe pull one out and use a thread checker at Home Depot or Lowe's?

Any time you need a hardware size just check the parts manual for your bike. Eveything is listed in the back.
