..um... dumb question, but can anybody tell me what size socket I'm just about to buy to remove the rear wheel nut on my 2009 1100s Monster?

Title: Re: 2009 1100 monster wheel nut size? (SSS) Post by: Betty on September 10, 2009, 07:37:24 PM I may be wrong (it is a habit I have tried to break in the past) but I think you are the only one in Ozmo land with an M1100.
Saying it is the same as an S*R could be wrong ??? Sorry I can't help. Title: Re: 2009 1100 monster wheel nut size? (SSS) Post by: ungeheuer on September 10, 2009, 07:44:54 PM 46mm - thanks [thumbsup] [beer]

What's happening with the skins? You also said bars are going on, clip-ons or normal types. Title: Re: 2009 1100 monster - how big are my nuts? Post by: ungeheuer on September 27, 2009, 04:32:40 AM Looking neat, do love gold wheels as you may have seen. Thanks Matty. I found another source for Swatt bars.... so I have a set of those on the way. I'll have a play around and see how they set-up compared to Speedymoto Tallboys and decide from there..... The skins? They're currently receiving the paint treatment.... What's happening with the skins? You also said bars are going on, clip-ons or normal types. Title: Re: 2009 1100 monster - how big are my nuts? Post by: mattyvas on September 27, 2009, 04:39:07 AM That's great then, I'll look forward to your results and do keep me high on the Tall Boy list.
I put it up in your other thread but I think your wheels would be set off nicely by some billet wheel nuts. Title: Re: 2009 1100 monster - how big are my nuts?

The bike looks fantastic. Considering all the 'new monster' style competitions that have been around in the recent past its a shame you aren't one of the chosen clubs or shops. Definite BOMB material I reckon. Well done. Title: Re: 2009 1100 monster - how big are my nuts? Post by: Jukie on October 08, 2009, 04:56:59 PM very very nice UNGE

I took Matty's advice and had my nuts done black. But given the outrageously high torque loadings specified to tighten em...... anybody got any tips on how to do em up without damaging he anodising?
