Default caliber mounting bolts
I have the FLHTK 2010 can some one please tell me what kind of caliber mounting bolts on the front Harley is using?. It looks like a external torx but more points . Also is it some thing I can get local or do I need to go to Harley?.
Thanks for your time as well as your help.

Those are 12 point bolt heads. You see these a lot on aircraft. All you need is a 12 point socket. It is either 3/8 or 10 mm. Try both and see which fits best.

It's either a 12mm or 13mm 12-point socket. Can't remember which.

You guys got me to checking. My Alloy Boltz are 12mm and the stock bolts are 10mm.

OP you can pick up this 12 point socket at any autoparts store.
