Has anyone used a Jims Mega Nut on a Buell S2? My front pulley nut came loose and damaged the nut. I would like to not have this happen again. When I look this up all I see are references to "Big Twin" engines. | ||

You'd need one that says it works on Sportster engines. Big Twin is ...well, the big engines. 1340 Evo, 88 and 96 inch twincams, and the new 103/110. Loctite. Primary locking tool. Proper torque procedure. The nut will stay put if installed correctly. | ||

OK will keep looking. I tightened it up to specs. I guess it wasn't put on correctly to start with... | ||

im pretty sure its the same nut my big twin and sportster parts book show the same number for both parts so it should work fine | ||

Same nut for EVo big twins and XL based motors (including Buell of course). The great thing about the Jims Mega Nut is that it really is a belt and braces approach,and if you need to remove pulleys regularly it can be done up at a lesser torque than the stock nut and still stays on! I've used them a few times on race bikes mostly. Expensive for a nut but good products. |
