Rear lug nut size 2021 Tri glide?

[stratmarshall]

What's the rear lug nut size 2021 on a Tri glide? 3/4 fits but seems kinda loose. Are they metric? Is the correct torque 90 - 100 Ft lbs?

Thxs in advance.

Nope, 19 mm and 3/4 are not the exact same, this is why some lug nuts get so beat up

Use the right sized socket, the torque value for HD trike rear lug nuts is 90- 100 ft lbs, I like the higher end for my torquing

I do not know any one using standard sizing for lug nuts going back as far as late 1980, I use a Snap on Tools flip socket 19/ 21 mm on my lugs

There are a few measurements in American that decimal equivalents do carry over to American wrench size, 3/4 is NOT one of them

I just replace all eight (8) lug nuts on my rear wheels. 1/2-20 threads and a 6 point 3/4 socket fits fine.

Before my trip to the black hills I rented a 3/4" drive torque wrench at auto zone and used a 12 point 3/4" socket to verify the lug nuts were at 100/ft #'s there was a couple of them that snugged up a little. Thxs for the replies.
