35mm or 1 3/8".
I usually wrap the flats with some blue painters tape once around. 1) to protect the chrome 2) makes a nice snug fit so I can control it a little better when the threads let loose.
I found the socket at auto-zone if I remember.

That;s because its 35mm, not 1-3/8".......its close but not quite. I think Jim's is the only one making a 35mm socket for it unless you use a standard 35mm 6point socket, the only real reason for those lo profile ones is to clear the handlebars so if you don't mind moving them it will save quite a bit.
