Front Brake bleeding

Go to a motor factors with the item in the caliper. A nipple is a nipple.

I'm sure something is available.

I got a stainless steel one from Inox £7.

Check your diameter and thread pitch.

Well the "Bleed nipple" you removed was definately non standard so the caliper has been modified but as to wether the thread has been tapped out who knows, I suggest you take the nipple you took out to a bolt supplier and find out what nut threads on to it not forgetting to try AF as well as metric. That will give you the thread it is to see what fits.

As to Silvers reply I happen to agree that the 750 has only had two different Bleed Nipples , 7mm and 10mm so if yours is different its either not Honda or Modified.

Was this a US import? They have a habit of adulterating anything to fit!!

if your struggling u can send them both to me and i might be able to alter the one you have bought to the same thread thats on the one u took out if not i will be able to tell u what the thread is

Thanks for all your help and offers of assistance. It turns out it is a 6mm thread I assume it must have had a helicoil inserted at some time in its history. Decided to buy a stainless one from Inox Fasteners which is now installed. Excellent service delivered it in 24 hours.

Can anyone tell me the thread size of the 10mm nipple? The nipple i have removed is a 10mm x 1.25 and 35mm long.
I know that ford transit is M10 x 1mm and 35mm long but, never seen one with a 1.25mm tread. Any ideas???

You might find one on a Honda car mate, even the steel pipe fittings are different for Hondas

Different caliper, different nipple and bike John. This is a nipple that i have never seen before. And i have seen some nipples in my time.
I know what you are thinking John. I can hear your brain ticking from here
