Torx tool set

[Glyno]

Damned expensive over here and as Im over in the UK very soon can anyone recommend a half decent set for every day use, just so I can take bits off for cleaning etc.
That would be for the 1200 gs.
Thanks people

For the cheapest but usually quality stuff try to find an army surplus shop.. usually tucked away in industrial units.

Machine Mart, Screwfix or Tooled Up.com all do them. I think MM and SF do some nice combined Torx/Hex sets. Most that I have seen only go up to T-50 and I believe you may need a T-55 some certain bolts so you may have to buy that one separately.

Sizes (and all the the tools) are here: http://www.r1200gs.info/misc/toolkit.html

Halfords' 'Professional' range is much better than you might expect.

See this thread I started for a good torx kit from Screwfix. Has a torx key big enough for the rear wheel, which i think is the biggest torx bolt on a GS.

+1 for that

I've got a small set i keep on the Armstrong (i love company expenses ) for when it breaks down and they can stand up to the heavy and regular use

Engine mounting bolt are a size larger than real wheel bolts (on a 1200) IIRC

Beware of Halford's 'non-Professional' range - used a T40 to remove the rear brake disc. It was OK on 4 of them but on the 5th it twisted (bent) & has bu**ered the head !!
