As I'm stuck on a ship for a month I have been looking into what I can do to my new XB12Ss when I get home. And have decide to remove the pax foot pegs.

Does anyone know the allen key size needed to remove them as I am going to borrow one from work and remove them on my leave?

I also want a tail tidy but not spending THAT much, might make one myself.

Cheers guys,,

5/16" A/F, although an 8mm is just as good a fit as i tried that also

Go buy yourself a set... you've got a Buell now

You get good tools at Halfords - their Pro set. I got a 150 piece set for £100. They are lifetime warrantied.

You get ratchet spanners, many sockets (included AF - you're going to need those for your Buell), torx bits (again - a lot of fasteners on the Buells are torx heads), those funny sockets that grip the sides of bolts for ones with rounded heads too. (can't remeber the name - Weisel or something funny like that). Oh yeah, it has universal joints and spark plug sockets too. You'll need them for doing the plugs on an XB.

If you look at the tools as a lifetime investment, they're not expensive - allowed me to do a lot of work on my bikes and cars I wouldn't have been able to do before, and saved the money.

Halfords Pro stuff is excellent quality - except for their Allen keys. The best I've come across are Snap On and Facom. These are an investment
Ask for a Halfords Trade card, on some stuff you'll get upto 50% discount iirc on spanners and stuff, it's about 25% disc.
Any tools that aren't in the Pro range, avoid like the plague

I can also vouch for the Halfords pro stuff, and you do get around 20-25% off spanners with one of their trade cards. Should be easy enough to get hold of one. They told me I needed a trade qualification. I said I had a C&G part 1 in Boatbuilding and the guy said "that's fine".

The bloke behind the counter asked me if I'd like one (fnar, fnar ) so I don't think they're too hard to come by. Try telling them you own a Buell and you'll defo get one
