Size bolt thats holds calipers on a CVO
« on: December 01, 2017, 04:20:12 PM »

Going to be removing my wheel to install a new front tire. Was trying to find a socket to fit the bolts that hold brake calipers on. I went thru all my sockets but don't have anything to fit it. It looks like a 12 teeth bolt. What size is it. Must be some sort of Torx bolt... Thanx in advance..

My 2015 CVO Limited front caliper bolts are 10 mm 12 point, the bike is in my center storage room right now and was not able to remove the saddle bag to check the rear caliper bolts but I think they are the same

My bike is a 2015 CVO Roadglide. I thought all bolts were American & not Metric but guess I'm wrong.

oh no....  you've got a mix of metric and sae.  the good thing is that most of the metric are the same size so you don't need a full metric set, only a couple of pieces.  and yep, the caliper bolts are 12 pt 10mm.

Not a torx, just a common 12pt socket.
