    You guys!, I wouldn't even think of putting up a thread to compete with Chinny's.

    The link shows Honda have 8mm nipples, that seems rather large. I'll borrow my dads verniers and check

    Hi Jon. The nipples are M7mm threads but 8mm A/F (across flats) so you use an 8mm spanner.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks Steve! thought M8 sounded a bit too large.
