Default Allen wrench or Torx size for trans. dipstick

Stupid question time, what size allen wrench or torx socket do I use to open the dipstick for transmisson? I have 06 c.v.o 103 FAT BOY and yes I have bought service manuel for 06 softail's from E-BAY should be here in few day's also the dealer say's there is scremin eagle supplement manuel that you buy seperate, but that is $40.00 and I do not want to be cheap but Is that manuel neccesary just to change my on oil and transmisson, clutch oil, I'm not looking to re-build just do and USE my prefered oil, also I looked on 100 page's for harley manuel's, allmost gave up!! But I finally found guy that had 2 , 06 softail manuel's and after my order found out he was harley dealer up north, but I sure did not see scremin eagle supplament on E-BAY, and I talked to harley dealer where I bought my bike from he wanted $60.00 for 06 softail manuel and then allmost 5 buck's tax, and the one I bought on E-BAY cost and u.s mail shipping the (cheapest) $41.60, so he had one left and if you need 06 softail service manuel new and in plastic wrap still, get in touch and I will give you in-fow, I thought would be easy to find one, damn 100 page's of sporster's and side car's or some no-name manuel or on disc, alsomy dealer said out of stock for 06 softail's service manuel and would be week's or longer before he could get one. THANK YOU PURPLE HAZE

The basic manual should give you all the information you need for what you're looking to do. As far as the size of the allen wrench, just keep stickin em in there til one fits. I can't remember what size I use on my bike. I just eyeball about three of them until I find the right one.

It's a 3/8" Allen on my '04 Standard.

Same as on my 07 Custom, so I guess its the standard size.
Though I did see one on a bagger that didn't have the wrench hole in it, it was jusr knerled around the rim edge. Be nice to find one like that for mine.

Don't know specifics for your exact question, but so far on the torques I have had to use anything from a 25 to 50
And had to buy a 50 long shank torque(found one at a auto part place) -- for the passenger footpeg removal the post it attaches too

Oh forgot about adjustments to the handlebar torque screws they are smaller than the 25..forget what size they are
