Default Rear shock nut size 1 1/6?

I am going to need the right size wrench to get my shocks off tomorrow and I read it is a 1 1/6" Can anyone conform this for me? Is there enough space to get a large adjustable wrench in there instead?

If I remember correctly the front nuts are 11/16" and the rear shoulder bolts are 3/4". At least that's what I think I used to take my Shotgun Shock off. This is what's on my 2005 Fatboy.

I just did mine and the rear swinarm bolts are 3/4" as were the fronts, the 1 1/16" nuts are the jam nuts when you set the preload. to get the out easily, take the left one out first and turn the rear nut on the front bushing all the way back and they will slide right out. What are you installing? another airride system?

Yup, another system. Well if those are the sizes I am fine. i was running around trying to find an 11/16" wrench last night and of course nowhere I went had one.
