What is the metric thread of the nut in the nut cage? I need to do a thread chase so I can complete my Jumbo Strong install in a workman like manner with a proper tap. Everything is ready to go back together. Gary

quexpress: Nut cage refers to the metal enclosure that holds the rectangular nut into which the bolt securing the rear end of the fender struts threads:
; as in nut cage mod. To remove this enclosure is to gain more clearance for a car tire.
Jess from Va: I am installing Tsukaya bags and I don't see fender struts or the rectangolar nut or the fender section in question on the exploded view of Honda hard bags and mounting hardware.
For all others: I would like to know the Metric thread form for the threaded hole which is off center on the rectangular nut (please?)

No vinegar intended.  I try NOT to use sarcasm or snappy retorts. I do, however, tend to be direct .  (originally from Chicago area) So...... smile and happy 4th to all! (where is that humility smiley?) Gary |

; as in nut cage mod. To remove this enclosure is to gain more clearance for a car tire. Done that mod years ago for a 200 tire .... http://www.quexpress.02hosting.com/quexpress/Valkyrie/fender_bolts.htm... but did not check the thread pitch. However Pancho gave you the specs: 8mm Good luck! |

Well, it looks like this simple bag install is cursed! Today I went out to remove and do a thread chase on the rectangular nut that has buggered up threads. I went to remove the bolt that was only snugged into it and guess what.....The bolt broke off about 1/8th" after the treads start. Does anyone have suggestions other than remove everything on the right side of the bike having to do with the fender strut?
I just walked away from it before I lost it....need some time to think calmly and rationally. I am thinking of changing my name to "Cage Nut"
