I am trying to adjust the preload on my shocks and all the wrenches I have are too long. Does anyone know the size of the locknut on the 2 shocks on my 2007 softail standard.

I just figured someone else might know so I don't have to cut more than 1 wrench down in length.

Thanks

 

Since these shocks are Showa brand (metric), that locknut is 25 mm. Why not just use a good adjustable wrench? And do you have any way to raise your bike, for example a jack, to give yourself some room under your bike when you adjust the shocks?

 

Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of an adjustable. It worked perfect.

I haven't got a jack yet but it is in my near future.
