Title: NUTS!!!
Post by EJID on 07/19/11 at 15:41:47

Looking for some bungee nuts and not sure of the thread.

Another thread stated the shock threads were M10 1.5 but I'm not sure :-/

Found these M10 1.25 (would they work for the upper shock mount?)

Or these M8 1.25 (would they work for the acorn nuts that hold the side rails?) - another thread stated the bolts that hold the side rails on are M8 1.25 of varying lengths.

Wrench size 17mm is M10

Wrench size 13mm or 12mm is M8

I don't remember the shock nut size

I usually just hook the bungee cords around the shock mount below the nuts and then criss-cross them and hook the other ends to the sissy bar.

I always bungee right under the rear seat, on both sides.

These are not the nuts, but are far better than bungee cords:

I have one of these figure 9 things,, Im as good with rope as anyone Ive ever known, tying things down is just no big deal , & parachute cord is super handy for loading a bike. Even tho I can tie knots & get loads down tight easy enough, that little figure 9 thing makes is SOOO easy,, I use it, Bungee stuff is helpful & use that stuff, too, but I dont like to use them on big clunky loads w/o some cord.

I was thinking I would try and pick up one of these nets (think they could be real handy) but I guess I don't need the specific nuts to attach.

Thanks for the replies

And they hook in various places w/o a problem.

I have a quad net from Meijer: http://www.meijer.com/s/quadgear-atv-stretch-cargo-net-black/_/R-140851. The one positive of it over the ones from BikeBandit is the hooks are plastic, not plastic coated metal. I put 2 hooks on top of the shocks, 2 under the fenders between the shocks and the rear turn signals and the back 2 under the fender in front of the tail light. It held a very stuffed shoulder bag for a weekend trip to the AMA Museum in May with no issues.

I think the nut is a 10mm, not sure about the pitch.
only way to be sure is to measure (# of threads/mm) it or take the stock acorn nut off and try it on the fitment sample at the parts store.

The shock mounts (top and bottom) are M10 x 1.25, which is a hard to find size.

I knew someone would have the answer sooner or later
