Default Caliper Bolts

New to Harley here. Went to take the caliper bolts off my 2012 ultra and got a first good look at the bolts. Nothing in my tool box will fit those bolts.
Can anybody tell me what type head they are and maybe the size too so i know what socket to buy

They take a 12 point 10mm socket. The pad one is 1/4 12 point. I use an offset box wrench for that one. Most sockets are 6 point for impact and 9 general run of mill. 12 is the short index type but weakest. This is for my 04 with Harley 4 piston brakes. Think they are made in Germany.. Yours may be Brembo from Italy

Thanks a bunch for the help. Found a 12 point 10mm and it fit like a glove!
