Thanks......I'll see if it's a 36mm or not when I take a crescent wrench and tape measurements to the store.

I believe it is 36mm. There should be a wrench in the tool kit that came with your bike.
Several companies (including H-D) make a wrench so the the nut can be torqued properly without removing the exhaust.

Ya, but do you use SAE or Metric Cresent wrench?

Actually it a left handed electrically adjustable standard Cresent wrench.

The only problem I have with using cresent wrenches is there is a good chance of rounding the corners on the nut, I would get the correct socket, or box end wrench for it, just sayin.

Haven't seen a tool kit. I should ask the guy I bought the bike from if he still has it.

The nut is 1 7/16". Also the torque setting is 105 lbs. Use a socket on the nut and a wrench on the head while you tighten or you'll change the belt tension.
