Torx Bits
Why does Harley do this stuff. Getting ready to put on the new Derby cover and the screws are T27 Torx!!! Of course that's not in my Torx Bit socket set. I tried Sears, Lowes, Home Depot, Advance Auto, NAPA, JC Whitney, Target, even K-Mart. A Google search didn't do me much good either. No T27. I refuse to buy another set to get the one bit I need. Last time it was the 1/4 inch 12 point socket!! Make it stop!!!!!!! [sm=insomnia.gif]

RE: Torx Bits
Great, just what I needed to hear. I can almost hear my local Snap-On guy shouting with glee at my soon to be here Road Glide. Looks like I will be giving him some more money. Hmmm, maybe I can trade him for some of my metric tools for SAE??

RE: Torx Bits
Well it could be worse.....try using the standard torx on a tamper proof torx. I hate torx anyways...the person that invented the torx should be beat on the head for doing so.
I personally believe torx has no business on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

What's a tamper proof torx? Where are they located on the bike?

I'm suprised that NAPA didn't have what you needed. I have been able to get individual pieces from my local NAPA store no problem. I wonder if it's a store thing.
