Torx Security Bit Question
I seem to have misplaced the torx security wrench to my Brukus seat screw and was wondering if anyone knew what size torx security bit they take? I' d like to buy one locally and have it as a spare. It looks like a #30, but I can't get a regular torx bit in because of the security feature.
Any help would be appreciated.

harbor freight sells cheap sets, just get the whole set for under $10
until then a narrow slot head screwdriver can be used to lever the "security' screw loose,
place it to one side of the security pin, so that the tip contacts in one of the "points" and use that leverage to turn the screw out.

If a Torx Security Bit is so easily available, it makes the use of a Torx Security screw
useless.
useless.

The idea is to get away from the stock fasteners, which can be removed with things that dont even qualify as tools.
And support your local vender so he can build a better mouse trap.

We also sell additional wrenches and bits. We only sell them to customers that have purchased one of our security products.
Also, FYI - when we determine that the market demands it, we will be developing proprietary screws and tools.

Thanks for all of the replies. I found a security bit at the local Grainger for a couple of bucks.
To the Brukus crew, you make a very high quality product, I have the seat screw and the security screws holding the bags on my Road King on. I did buy an extra wrench with the seat screw, but misplaced it and needed a back up plan at the time. I have since located both wrenches, keep one in the saddle bag and one in a place where it should not be overlooked. Still, having a 3rd alternative is a good idea.
