Default What size is softail shock locknut...

???Does anyone know? This is the 3rd time I have posted about this and am yet to get an answer. And, Do you adjust this while the bike is up on the life, or while it is on the ground? I am ready to try my shock on different settings finally, but need the appropriate sized wrench for the locknut. Oh yeah, I ahve the shock wrech...Thanks...

Can't guarantee but the the ones for mine are a 24mm and so are the ones on a bud streetbob. So I'm hoping they're pretty much even across the board.

Even if it's not right, at least it's an anwer 'eh?<G>

Wolf, that's just me, always tryin' to help<g>

I'm almost positive it's 3/4.do it on a lift and do them one at a time.A $60.00 lowering kit cost my buddy about $300.00 when it was all said and done.

I agree with Lronoover 1 1/16". Unfortunalty, a full sized 1 1/16" wrench will not fit under the bike with the wheels on the ground. On a lift, the lift is in the way. I bought a cheap brand 1 1/16" wrench, cut it in half, then trimmed the length until I could get rotation on the nut with the bike on the sidestand.
Good Luck!
