I don't know - most steering nuts on bikes run from 4'10" through 6'6", depending on type and age...

I don't know specifically for honda but I think the common sizes are 27, 32 and 36MM. if you have these three you should have the right size with you.

I have a '99 VFR in the garage I've been babysitting for the last 3 years for my best friend..

I just walked out and checked, and it is a 30mm.

Hope that helps for what you're looking for.

Thanks G. I have a thats Scotts damper arriving wednesday and I think its mount requires me to drill/tap my triple and I dont want to do that.

Their new kit replaces the stock nut with a special nut and the damper mount surrounds it and set screws hold it in place.

I dont want to pay $140 for a mounting kit when I just need two pieces so hopefully I can find a kit on ebay for cheap with the same nut size I need.
