    Hey b0mb3r, ride to a BIG toolshop. If they are switched on they should be able to advise you on tools and torx sizes for your hog.
    your bike is out the front take the tools out and make sure.
    You might get away with a small AF kit and a torx kit.
    Be aware some torx kits dont have all the sizes you need. This kit will fit everything genuine, torx and hex (allen key) on my streetbob
    T&E Tools Part No TX037. Good quality and about 50 bucks
    Cheers

    I check out the assorted tools in bins in places like cash converters and find they sometimes have the bigger sockets like 1 1/2 and 1 1/8 and so on. These are the kind of sizes you need for clutches and front sprockets. It dosnt take long to build up a kit and Id rather get  better quality second tools than brand new poor quality stuff.
