Stock spoke nipple size?
« on: October 15, 2011, 07:48:25 PM »

Hi all, I was about to order spokes from Buchanan's and I noticed they have two nipple sizes for stock Cb750 rims.  My wheels are currently not at my shop - does anyone know the stock size for a  K5 offhand?  Would it be the .250" or the .281"?

Cheers,
Scott
