What size spanner wrench to adjust a rear shock on a 2009 Heritage Classic?

 

I dont really know but I will bump this thread and hopefully someone will chime in

 

Harley has a tool for about $20 that will adjust the softail and dyna shocks.

 

I think he is talking about one to loosen the nut so you can adjust them. It is a big wrench is all I remember.

 

Got it. Went to dealer 12.00 bucks. It looks like a 1 inch wrench to loosen jam nut.

 

My dealer adjusted the rear shocks on my '09 Heritage for no charge; they are set at softest setting and the ride is more comfortable now... no hard bumps, and we don't bottom out either. I'm 230 lbs. and wife is 130; I put 40 psi in the rear tire when she's on board, and drop it back down to 36 psi when solo. Rides perfect for us now, much smoother, less bumpy. I give my dealer credit, he believes in helping his customers with the little things in his effort to build good relationships (for the bigger bucks down the road!).

 

The Harly tool will do the jam nut and turn the shocks, It's worth getting for the coast,

I believe the actual size is metric - either 26 or 28 as I recall.

 

my nut on the 08 fatboy shocks is 1 1/8 .

 

Metric?!!!! Geez.
