Torx, hex , sockets and the sizes etc...

Welcome to the Forum Community and to BMW ownership. Before I forget, might I suggest you go over to the New Member Introductions section and tell us a little about yourself - nothing too personal, of course - just the typical stuff like where you're based and your experience with motorcycles and BMW.

To answer your question we'd have to know what expertise you do have and how far you're willing to "fiddle" with the bike. Sometimes fiddling when you really don't know what you're doing can be costly, and BMW stands for "Bring More Wallet". Soon as you show up at a dealer they tend to start thinking like a cash register - "cha-ching". Smile If it is to fix mistakes by the owner then that ups the ante.

You said you just bought a T45 driver to install highway pegs - that suggests that you may not have a set of torx drivers, so you'll need to get some metric tools including a set of Torx drivers, as most fasteners on the bike are Torx and all are metric.

So tell us a little of what you are intending to do with the bike, your level of experience, and what tools you already have.
