I'm wondering what I need for special bits to work on my bikes. I found the following on Ebay, is this needed or is it overkill?

I have yet to use any female Torx wrench or bit....

On the LT I have used T-20 (seldom) and T-25 (mostly).
I used a T8 on Kathy's Schuberth Concept helmet to remove the straps in order to install speakers. If you work on Compaq/HP computers you will find the T-15 very handy, as well as the T-10 for hard drive components.

Well, it certainly isn't "every bit you'll ever need", because at some point you'll need a 30 MM deep socket with a hole in the side and a 12 MM hex-bit. If you don't have a good metric hex-bit set, and Torx set, they come in handy for the LT.

Deacon,
Is that an Emergency Exit Tool or some self defense thingie that Lonewolf teachs LT owners to use when the Kubaton is not handy? :think:

Can I get one of those on ebay? Might come in handy to knock the ice off the windshield and footpegs!:histerica
