Handlebar clamps.

Hi all.

What type of sockets are needed for handlebar clamp removal / refit?

The BMW heads are a type i'm not familiar with.

Best get rid of them pronto get some Allen head bolts,I went to halfrouds brought a set of sockets took bolts out then returned them naughty I know but won't be using Torx sockets for any other job lol

Cheers for the pointers. Female Torx. I now have a socket set on order..

If you have some regular hex sockets there is a size (can't remember which) that fits. Same applies to the gear lever pinch bolt. No need to be buying external torx bits.

The right sockets need not be silly money.
