Not true - metric stuff is slowly creeping onto our Harleys and not before time. My new 1974 Harley had 10mm battery terminal bolts! Your Government signed off a metric Law back in 1975, but forgot to say when it should start! In the meantime be aware that some metric tools may be required when servicing our bikes.
its not? What? Haha

Yep, battery terminal bolts are 10 mm. Can't think of what else I've had to use metric tools on the HD's.

On a 2007 year bike with the master cylinder under the back isolator the brake rod assembly I think you will find is a T30 torx. Or do you have some kind of Chinese knock-off?

No they were HD bought and installed parts, but as I mentioned my eyes are not right yet from surgery, so I THOUGHT it was allen. Pretty funny looking back.
