torx bolt

I bought some Progressive 412 for the sportster but there is a big torx bolt there and my swiss army like torx set only goes up to 40. What size is that torx bolt?

My guess would be a 45 or 50. Those are the largest in my toolbox.

not sure about the size you need, but I have up to size 60...I bought the bigger ones at PEP BOYS...$5 or $6
I bought a set of 4 large ones at Sears(Craftsman) for $40, but took them back when I saw they were Chinese...the salesman told me there were made in USA ones on the same rack too, just have to look...

I stopped at Home Depot and got a 45 and a 50 torx. $2 each and fit on a 3/8 drive. The answer to the question is 50. I'll never use it again the rest of my life.

You might be surprised. I have found sometimes those 50's area perfect fit for some bolts on vehicles as well.

Seat belt attachment points, IIRC.
