Hey, I just put my 04 TBA away for the winter and figured it was a good time to get the tank repainted. I have alot of tools, but not the one I need to take the badges off the tank. The best I can describe it would be a hollow torx? What is it called, and where can I get it? Thanks, the dude

it's a security torx bit, either #20 or 25. any hardware store should carry a set of them

T25 security. I happened to need a T10 and T20 for work, wanted actual drivers rather than switching bits constantly, so I stopped at an Ace Hardware one day. Got them for about $4 a piece. Turns out, they are the security kind, so I went back and got a T25 for the bike! $4, just grab it, no fumbling for bits, can't beat that...
They are the blue handle kind, not sure the brand but I could check (PM me).

I got the bit set at Auto Zone for $10 and stuck it in my tool bag on the bike since they do double duty with the other Torx bolts on the bike.
