    Default Tools to work on a Spyder?

    I have a screwdriver and a socket set, but neither can turn the bolts on the F3. What do I need? I still have to get the panel under the seat off to get to my heated gear cables. I would also like to be able to remove the windshield when it gets really hot.

    Thumbs up Tools for a Spyder

    You will need Torx drivers. Specifically T-20 and T-30 bits available in 1/4" drive for side panels on most Syders.
    Also a selection to metric Allen Wrenches or Allen bits for your socket set. Torque wrench is a finishing touch.

    T-25 isn't a bad idea either.

    What's in your OEM toolkit?
    I'd augment that with the proper Torx head pieces, a pair of Vise-Grips, Any Allen keys that might be needed, and of course: Duct Tape, and WD-40!

    I'm at work, so I can't look at what brand the socket set is. It is metric. I would like to see examples of what I need so I know what to order. I tried asking at Sears hardware but you can envision the blank looks I got.
