2007 Norge brake caliper bolts
« on: August 15, 2016, 09:01:41 PM »
Does anyone know the socket size for the allen head bolts that hold on the front brake calipers on the 2007 Norge. 6mm is too small and 8 mm is too big. Do they even make a 7mm driver?

I got mine as part of a set - I know one of the sets at Harbor Freight includes this size. See http://www.harborfreight.com/6-pc-38-in-drive-metric-hex-socket-set-69546.html

I also replaced the machine screws with stainless steel ones after I had removed and replaced them a couple of times.

I am surprised the tool kit didn't have it.
Mine does now!
