I want to put a axle mount license plate on my 06 Bob.If I remove the left side axle nut is my wheel going to move?

 

You can remove the nut without messing anything up. The wheel alignment, belt alignment, and belt tension will not be affected.

Only thing you will need to do is re-torque the axle nut when installed (to 60-65 ft-lbs).

 

Thank you very much.

 

There area also quite a few nice mounts that attach to your swing arm so you don't need to worry about the axle nut.

 

i thought for sure (in my 09 manual) it called for 95-105 ftlbs

 

Yes - if you don't put the nut back on...

 

Are you secretly interviewing to replace Letterman?....

 

Copied and pasted from the 06 manual:

Rear axle nut 60-65 ft-lbs 81.3-88.1 Nm page 2-14

 

Well that's possible because my '08 manual says 95 to 105 as does yours......... I gues things change.
