On my 09 Road Glide, it is a 10 mm 12 point socket. Can find them any place that sells tools (sears, harbor freight, lowes, home depot etc.)

Actually, the 12 point in metric is not a common standard for most socket sets. However my offset box wrenches are. You check? Does take slightly longer that way? HA

Make sure socket or wrench is tight fit and all the way in and strike it with a hammer to get loose or it might slip and will be a problematic.

Craftsman universal metric sockets - work on 12 pt, hex, square, rounded, etc. have never caused an issue. a set of metric is about $12.00 (without the ratchet)

Are you referring to the bolts that hold the caliper to the forks or the pin bolt that holds the pads themselves? If it is the pin bolt you will need a 1/4" 12 point socket or box wrench.
