06 Bob, fork cap socket size

Getting ready to do the lowers and wanted to make sure that I get the right size socket for the slider cap nuts. The only thing I could find searching was 35mm. is that right?

Thanks

Not sure if 35mm is correct, but a 1 3/8" socket will work. 35mm is about equivalent to 1 3/8".

John is right.It's 35MM. All the fasteners having to do with the fork tubes and the calipers are metric. At least they are on the 06s
Don 25.4 mm = 1"
