    Where in Oz can i buy a tool kit for the road king 07 that includes the necessary TORX keys. I've looked everywhere up here in Hedland and neither of the hardware or auto shops have em. I'd rather a quality set than cheap shit that wont last knocking about the bag. Ive seen some for sale in US Ebay but rather try here 1st.

    Whilst i believe HD have individual tool kits, most dealers will not stock or sell them. You should be able to go down to your local Supercheap Autos or similar auot shop to buy them. Rather than the utility set, you may have to buy the 1/4 drive set. Anyway look for something that appears to be good steel. One set I had twisted when I tried to remove the derby cover to change the oil. Short of not finding something local, you can also look to buy online. Not sure about Supercheap, but certainly RS Components or Farnell, but bear in mind these places are not cheap!!! Come to think of it you should have a Blackwoods in Headland. Try them.

    I had heaps of trouble finding a good seat of Torx sockets around the local shops, I ended up getting a couple of sets off ebay AU one was a set of "L" shaped keys which were crap the heads buckled on first use, second set was a set of 3/8 drive sockets which were better but the T27 still buckled slightly with the pressure required to get the derby cover off. Once thing I did to make them fit better for removing tight screws is file down the end of the T27 about half a mm, this makes them fit into the head of the screw much more firm.
