Yes for some wierd reason triumph used two bolts same thread but a different hex jead on the side covers. Kind of like using the torx on the litt side infil panels and regular allen hex on the front neck panels. But again they do not properly chill there beer either.

One tid bit about the front tank bolt. Place a towel under the tank front lip. Otherwise you will have to add a bolt to the disappeared during repairs list. I have lost a few so now I ride with a loose tank. 
Hopefully they have found their way down somewhere safe.

Like @warp9.9 said above but my 1st Roadster came secondhand with a 8mm and 10mm head to those 2 identical bolt threads
Mine came like that from new...same deal with the side covers - relay side are 10mm head and other side are 8mm

I put about 100,000 miles on mine without the tank bolt. Never did get a round tuit.One tid bit about the front tank bolt. Place a towel under the tank front lip. Otherwise you will have to add a bolt to the disappeared during repairs list. I have lost a few so now I ride with a loose tank.

Seee, I told'ya It happens. If you claim to have never lost one you probably never lifted your tank. The same with the oil reservoir bolts.
