RE: Dyna Axle Size Question
Here's the axle info..
.. to the muscular 160mm rubber in back. On top of the new tough look, you’ll notice performance upgrades, too. Beginning with a whole new gearbox. The all-new 6-speed Cruise Drive™ transmission is ready to kick its legs out on the open road. The clutch takes less effort to pull, making all six gears even more satisfying. A new frame, new 1" front and rear axles, and a wide swingarm make handling tighter than ever. Also for 2006, you’ll find all Dyna 1450cc Big Twins equipped with consistently smooth-operating Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) standard for the first time ever. You might find it hard to believe, but we did all this without compromising affordability. No one but Harley-Davidson® could ever take the factory custom to a place this good.

RE: Dyna Axle Size Question
I just went to Lowe's and got an 1 1/8 socket to remove the rear axle nut. The socket fits but is a little loose. I don't know if that normal or if the nut is metric on an 2006 Wide Glide. Do you guys know for sure?

I used a 1 1/8 socket on mine but I think it really takes a 28 mm socket. The 1 1/8 was a bit sloppy.

RE: Dyna Axle Size Question
Since the original question was about front axle size, I believe the axle changed to 1" on Wide Glides in 2006 and on the narrow front end Dynas in 2004.

RE: Dyna Axle Size Question
I'll ditto that Murph. The axle size went up to 1 inch in 2004 and newer. I have a 2003 Dyna (narrowglide front end )and it is the last year using the 3/4 inch axle....pg
