Question from me on HondaTwins.net site: Any comments on here about this? Trigger ? Bryan? Oddjob? Etc.
"Some of my original Honda spoke nipples have thin dished washers under them and some don't. Difficult as Honda don't seem to list a separate nipple part number".

Reply from another HondATwins member:
"The domed washers are often used to allow a slightly larger hole diameter for the spoke.... (to correct for slight differences in hub diameter or hole's drilled angle for instance.....) ...
They also act as a "thrust" or bearing washer simplifying accurate tightening of the nipples...."
