Does anyone know the size of the Rear Axle NUT, 1 1/6 inch socket is too small

What is the size of the rear axle nut?

Thanks

1 1/16 inch socket fits perfectly. Not sure of the mm size.

My 1 1/16 socket is too small.  Anyone know the metric size?

That's a 22 mm nut

A 1 1/6 inch is too small and a 30 MM is too large. 

So I am guessing that it is a 28 MM.

I am running out to buy a set of larger MM sockets, I will post the results later.

Thanks

As mentioned in an earlier post, a 1 1/16" fits perfectly.

                             27 MM

Interesting that there are some many varied response, do the Valkyries vary that much by year, and model.

Mine is a 1998 Standard and the axle nut is 27 MM.

Thanks for all the responses.

27mm is correct. 

A 1 1/16 should actually be a better fit, but you may need a 12-point rather than a 6-point socket.
