OK, you got the specs and all that, but remember, like our Buells performance in the canyons and such, we don't ride spec sheets, we ride in the real world. So what I'm getting at is when you go to remove those screws, especially for the first time, use an impact driver (the cheap kind that you hit with a hammer works very well) to break the screw loose. Otherwise you might do what I did, cursing all the way back to the dealer who tightened them, and round off the screw head. I learned a lesson that day.

Another thing to keep in mind, if you don't have an impact driver, you can just strike the screw straight on with the Torx bit & hammer. This is usually enough to break the bond that seems to stick some screws.
