t-20 I think, you can buy a little kit at auto zone for a little bit of money.

I have several kits with differenr sizes Torks bits. But the screws on my bike have a pin in the center, that keep a Torks bit from fitting.

I got a whole set at Harbor Freight for $4 with a lifetime warrenty.They are called security bits or anti-tamper bits and a couple other things that just don't come to mind right now.They are a torx bit with a hole in the center like Soren said and are available at most any decent tool shop. Sears comes to mind as one place as well as the afore mentioned Harbor Freight (cheap tools but at the prices they have I'll take advantage of the guarentee) Snap=on for sure as well as all the other big names like Cornwell, SK, Mac , Matco, etc...

Thank all, This being Sunday I'll try Advanced Auto, Auto Zone & Harbor Freight, for a kit with, both T-20 & T-25 bits w/hole. If they don't have a set, than Fastenal Monday.

FYI, T-25 w/hole, fits.
