Default Torx size

What are the torx sizes that are common to Harley? I want to make sure I have the right sizes.

Ditto on the 25 and 27. The 27 is the bugger cause lots of people will fit the 25 in it cause it seems right and then it ends up getting stripped out. Sears has sets that have 10, 15, 20, 25, 27, 30, 40, 45.

The sizes that come with the hand dandy HD 8 in 1 screwdriver are 25,27,30, and 40. I have not found anything on the bike yet that these won't work for. These screwdrivers come in the dresser tool kit that comes with the bike, and they are about 19.00 from the HD shop.

Regards,

Bill

Buy a good set.

Make sure the torx is the correct one for the bolt or screw. You would not believe how many bolts are stripped because of using a 25 on a 27 bolt.
