vbaxy's 1-3/8" fork cap nut socket is a low-profile, CNC-machined hex tool made to safely remove and install Harley Sportster and Big Twin fork top nuts.
If you service your own forks or need a reliable tool for periodic maintenance, this socket is built specifically for the 1-3/8" (35mm) hex fork caps found on many Harley-Davidson Sportster and Big Twin models. The hardened construction and precision CNC machining give a snug fit on the nut, while a protective O-ring guards chrome finishes. Its compact height allows use with torque wrenches in tight spaces between the fork top and handlebars.
The socket matches the factory-sized 1-3/8" hex to reduce slippage and rounding of the nut. A tight, accurate fit concentrates torque where it belongs, preventing damage and speeding up tasks like changing fork oil or performing top-cap service.
Yes — the socket incorporates an O-ring that sits between the tool and the top cap to minimize marring on chrome or painted surfaces. The O-ring does not affect torque transfer but provides a soft contact point where the tool touches the visible area of the fork cap.
The vbaxy socket is designed for most Harley-Davidson Sportster and Big Twin models that use a 1-3/8" (35mm) hex fork cap. Its drive size and low profile let you attach a torque wrench or ratchet for controlled tightening and loosening in confined areas.
Manufactured from a hard material and finished with CNC precision, the socket resists wear and maintains a reliable fit over repeated jobs. The combination of hardness and accurate machining reduces the chance of rounding the nut or wearing the tool.
Who is this for: This vbaxy 1-3/8" fork cap nut socket is aimed at Harley owners, home mechanics, and professional technicians who perform fork maintenance on Sportster and Big Twin motorcycles. If you need a compact, durable tool that protects visible finishes, fits the factory hex, and works with standard torque wrenches in tight conditions, this socket is a practical addition to your toolkit. It’s especially useful when changing fork oil, replacing seals, or doing top-cap adjustments where a precise, low-profile tool prevents damage and saves time.
Q: Does this socket fit all Harley fork caps?
A: It fits Harley Sportster and Big Twin models that use a 1-3/8" (35mm) hex fork cap; verify your bike’s fork top size before purchase.
Q: Can I use a torque wrench with this socket?
A: Yes. The socket's low-profile design allows attachment of a torque wrench or ratchet for controlled tightening in tight spaces.
