This is the bolt, but the answer is the size of the socket that fits it. If you don't have a full set of sockets and wrenches, doing job is impossible. If it is oversize, and I don't think it is, you can get larger specialized tool from Autozone for free and just a small returnable deposit.
This vehicle will require a special puller to remove the balancer once the crankbolt is removed. This bolt is usually 21mm or 22mm in socket size if I remember. You will have to remove the wheel and inner splash sheild to access the bolt. The puller can usually be rented from most auto supply stores for a small fee.
The OE Autolite plugs installed in the Navigator use a 9/16 inch socket, which is most exactly the same diameter as the thread area, which makes it look round in the hole.

Your sportster is actually pretty easy to change the front sprocket on. On the right side of the bike, you'll see the rear brake master cylinder. The master cylinder must come off as well as the plate that the master cylinder sits on. To get this off, you'll have ot remove the brake pedal and the exhaust system.
Once you get the plate off, you'll need some special tools to remove and replace the front sprocket. You'll need a special socket to remove the large nut holding the sprocket on and a special device made to hold the sprocket so you can get the nut off and then back on with the proper torque.
In addition to changing the front sprocket, you'll also have to change the final drive belt to match the size of the rear sprocket and front sprocket combination.
