Hi All,

On my way to work today, my 08 Uly started sounding differently - like an exhaust leak. Got to work, checked around a bit and discovered that the nut had just fallen off of one of the studs on the front exhaust port - super weird, but hey, I'll take it over a broken stud! Anyway, I'm at work now, and I'd really like to fix this before I head home. I can walk to a Fastenal or a Tacoma Screw from work, so that's not an issue, and I'm pretty sure someone I work with has tools I can borrow, but it would be awesome If I knew what nut to buy. I've spent all of my motorcycling and automotive life in Metric-Land before this bike. If it were metric I could probably eyeball it, but it's not. I'm guessing 1/4"-3/8"? but I have no idea on thread pitch. Anyone happen to know off hand?

Thanks!
-Dave

Well, my internet search skills apparetly improve after asking questions on forums... Posting the answer for anyone who finds this later - According to the internet, Harley's use 5/16-24 Flange Nuts (PN #7593). It's probably a safe assumption that the XBs use the same.
