Default brakes

I have an 08 Fatboy and I am changing out the rear brake pads. I do not have the socket to fit the little bolt that holds the pads on to the rear caliper. Can anyone tell me what size socket that fits so I can pick one up tomorrow. A 9/32 is to big and a 1/4 is to small, must be metric but not on a Harley. Anyway thanks for any help.

HA HA your bike is assembled from parts source globally japan china Italy, yes metric bolts on a Harley 1/4 12 point socket is required for those bolts not a 6 point socket, that's why your front forks are metric bolts
