nuts george at uptite makes them in stainless and alum i believe. he's on the husky site. a dealer in santa ana calif.... lots of cool stuff.
I got mine in Red from Motosportz. First item in the Convenience section. http://www.motosportz.com/HVA-SS/HVA-SS-Home.htm
1 714 540-2920, and George will sell you one in stainless. uptite@sbcglobal.net is the e-mail but trust me, the phone, 9-5 pacific time is better.
can anyone tell me why those aftermarket axle nuts (bolt really) are 15mm. Nothing else on my bike is 15mm. I filed mine down to 14mm as I already carry one.
Just guessing the Huskys used to have regular front axle bolts, then someone decided to put these giant hex axle bolts on them ????? 12 mm hex is a lot harder to find than a 15mm wrench. In emergencies we've seen guys stick two 6mm hex wrenches into the 12 mm hex to remove.
Yep, bought the wrench from Motosportz, too. I liked the idea of being able to pull both wheels with one wrench.
I gots me a MZ one also. It's very nice! I'll have to take that giant allen wrench back to Sears and get my $8 back one of these days..... Those wrenches are looking nice too. I'll have to get one on my next order.
Actually to be perfect, I think it would have to be made of skeletonized titanium, but then who could afford one. Ken
Replace the 12mm hex Front axle Would be nice if the replacement (up-tite / motosportz) front bolt was something a little more common size (12 or 13mm) so you could carry a pair of motion pro levers like these: http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0284/ http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0288/ It was suggested to me to take another tool and weld a piece of 14mm hex to it (or a nut/bolt head that is 14mm). Trying to go super light with the tool kit... Don't want to have to carry stuff like this in the fanny pack: http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-Kingpin/DCP_6788.jpg
