    I need to remove the torx bolts that are holding the saddle bag rail, rear "bumper" on my 04 EGlide Standard. I tried the T27, didn't fit.... called the HD shop and they thought T40....I am just trying to confirm that this is the size before I buy one. (I have a service manual on order, but they have not called to tell me it is in yet....) Thanks!

    My guess is that they are the same..... looks like the same config on the newest of "tour bikes"......just those 4 torks bolts down by the bumper that holds the saddle bags also..... Those are BIG torx!!! my T27 just kinda "slid around in the hole" and couldn't even really strip them out as it wasn't catching anything!!! :eek: :D Thanks for the help!

    I just checked my 2004 Road Glide. They are T40 bolts.
