Ah... whatever Dawg says is the way to go! I bought a Craftsman allen and torx socket set, and it is what is needed most of the time.... the torque wrenches are craftsman as well; however, you might want to look at a good jack...

 

Including a twelve point 10 mm socket for brake work?

 

If I was buying allen wrenches, I would buy the BALL end ones. Never have used an inch pound torque wrench, don't know any mechanics that do either. When I have asked different mechanics (independents and MOCOs) about how much they use their inch pound torque wrench, they give you a funny look and make remarks like, don't own one, don't know where mine is, its been in the box for years.......Not advising you don't need one, just saying...........

 

36mm socket for the rear axle left side, and the special 36mm wrench Dawg directed me to for the right side. Dawg, do you have the link?

HD's belt tension measuring tool.

But, make the HD Service Manual the first thing you buy for your bike.

 

metric huh??? need a tire soon and was planning on doing it myself this time, glad I saw this.

 

With your service manual in hand, go over the procedures that you will be doing and note the tools that are required for each one. Make a list, check it twice, and buy what you need.

 

Giddy up!!~
Best and most usefull by far!

 

You might think about a bike lift. A little pricy, but a Pittbull is safe and stable lift.
Just got one, and love it. Works for maintenance, cleaning, and putting the bike out of the way come Winter weather.

 

Manual and your short on cash check the Harbor Freight store.

 

Absolutely the most important tool the Service Manual for your model bike.
