Default Torx Bit set...

I have a good set of allen heads and very cheapie torx bits. I need to invest in a good torx bit set. Any recommendations?

lisle or proto makes a nice set for a reasonable price....
snap on or macto makes a very nice set but you'll spend a chunk of change...

I changed my torx head fasteners to allen heads and couldn't be happier. One of my favorite mods I've done.

Need to add that to your list of mods

I'll be checking out those brands that you guys listed.

Thanks!

Check Sears for Craftman or hardened brands they sell.

HD road winder. Front is a 21" for a wide glide that I machined down to fit the mid glide on my bob.

Im about to second that...
The torx screws that HD uses are a very, very low grade fastner...

Of course we all know HD won't admit this...

I went to a high grade chrome plated torx on my derby cover... we'll see how those do first..

I even changed the fasteners on my hand controls. I have a good friend who is a sales rep for Fastenal and he hooked me up.
