Going out tomorrow to get some tools for my Buell - previously had Jap bikes so only have metric stuff.

Looks like I need some Torx sockets - up to what size?
Some decent Allen keys, and what size is the oil drain plug? - not sure if I really need a full non metric socket set?
Anything else anyone suggests?
Thanks in advance...

a full set wouldn't hurt, but the main ones I think are 7/16 9/16 1/2
honestly I'd just buy a whole set of ratchet pieces for the torx and standard allens and a small adjustable just in case

Make sure you get a size 27 Torx. I've been spinning my own wrenches on bikes for a long time and when I got my first MOCO product last year I couldn't work on it because I didn't have a F'n 27, go figure.

And what Wolf said, get a whole set. Sears practically gives away Craftsman stuff these days. For a couple hundred bucks you'll be set.
