Got this from Kurveygirl a bit ago
I have not had the opportunity to fit HD's myself, but I do sell to some dealerships and have had customers use them , so to the best of my knowledge you will need the 11.3mm size,
Please let me know if you have anymore questions.
Thank You, KG/Julie
Have not heard back yet from motorcycleanchor yet.

Talked to tech at motorcycle super store and he said 10 would fit Harley. Ordered a set since I was already placing an order today.

That hose is not a zero loss and the first time I used mine it was a 100% loss. Last year on a trip in the mountains, checked the tire pressure in the morning and was a few psi low on the front. Get out my trusty new extension from harley, screw it on and find that the schraeder valve is loose in the hose. Take it off, go inside the motel and borrow their valve stem tool. Actually used a paperclip to thread it in more. Back out, put it back on, pump it up using my slime compressor, and when I took the chuck off the hose, the schraeder valve stuck in, letting most of the air out before I could get the extension off. Seems the POS valve the POS HD puts in the POS hose has too long a stem and the taper of the valve makes it stick when a tire chuck is installed letting all your hard earned air back out. Had another dealer replace the valve with a better shorter one. I still carry that POS extension but don't use it.
If you have one of the fine examples of HD accessories, I suggest you check it out at home in controlled conditions, before you try to use in "in the field".
So my answer is to replace the rubber ones with a good angled metal one. Will call the motorcycle anchor folks in a bit to check fitment.

I keep it in my saddlebag all the time but have never needed to use it on the road because I check before I leave.
I still don't see the big deal everyone makes about filling these tires, and yes I have the 28 spoke
