:D , sorry, I hate to miss out on a lame joke!
 
Buchanan's shouldn't be that much - I paid $100 for a complete set (1 wheel) of stainless spokes and nipples. Surely the nips on their own would be less. What make / model? How many nipples do you need? HA! Funny stuff.

You can buy complete spoke sets for as little as $30 from MikesXS - not 100% sure if the nipples would be compatible with your application/rim. I'm having a Borrani rim laced to a GT750 4LS hub right now, with stainless Buchanan spokes/nipples and the rim spoke holes have to be drilled out a bit to accommodate the large nipples.

Oh, and nipples at the Bunny Ranch will run a lot more than $100 ;)
 
I've been looking for a set of nipples for my cb350 for awhile. How can I find out their size if I wanna order from a place like Buchanan's??? or is there anywhere else I can get a cheap set of nipples for 350??????????????????????????????????????????. it looks like a set of nipples there would cost me the same as all new spokes and nipples from e-bay. nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples. just thought it needed to be said a few more times.
 
good one twisted lol

as for the nipples even just the blue zinc coated ones would cost like around 55 bucks for 72 nipples. if i have to spend that much im just going ebay and spening the like 75 bucks and getting new spokes to. i want to powdercoat my spokes black so thats why i only need new nipples.

and yea if anyone can tell me the correct size that be awesome. i have a cl350

You need to check spoke thread, Honda used 1/8" WHITWORTH thread in 1970's (really surprised me as I thought it would be 4mm metric thread)
