BradT Posted August 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted August 3, 2008 Does anyone know the size of the big nut on top Think you had a large helmut ? For some reason 32mm rings a bell or 1.25" BUt do not quote me. Torque is not very high, book say torque to 36 ftlbs then back off and re-torque to 2.2 ftlbs.

bobcat Posted August 3, 2008 Share #3 Posted August 3, 2008 I believe a 1 1/8" socket will work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted April 20, 2010 Share #7 Posted April 20, 2010 I think the nut you are referring to is 27 mm (on a 2nd Gen). Is this the one in center of the triple tree on the top of the steering stem? If you find out, let me know. I will be coming down to Milwaukee this week and can loan you the 27 mm socket and a Dingy-made steering head spanner wrench. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
