I realized just now I had used a torx 40 and other torx when those bolt heads were actually (probably) hex heads.

Allen Keys refers to the defunct manufacturer of hex head sockets amongst others

Im about to ride motorbike across a country soon

As long as you didn't have to put a bunch of torque on it or your bolts were not exceptionally Chinese it'll probably be fine.

Where are you off too? Stop by if you need anything done to your bike on the way.
