Replacing ALL Torx Screws?

Replacing ALL Torx Screws?
I've seen several recommendations to "throw away the crappy Torx screws" and replance them all with stainess steel Allen (hex) head screws.
Is there a compiled reference list somewhere that lists all the Torx screw sizes used on my FLSTN, or will I have to just do this one screw at a time? I've like to just get a whole set of replacements at once.

These forum sponsors may have what you're looking for. I recall there are some problems you can run into with stainless screws interacting with aluminum. I think it calls for using anti-seize with them.

Thats weird, I myself like the torx head screws way better than allen head. Jost go to sears and buy a good set of torx head bits and you'll have no problems at least I have'nt. I've actually had more problems out of allen headed screws. Go on Ebay they sell complete replacement screw and bolt sets for all bikes. Stainless and chrome I personally go with the stainless torx heads.
