Default Spoke Nipple size

Can someone please tell me the correct size of the OEM laced wheel spoke nipple of my 2013 SuperGlide Custom? Service manual only gives the torque spec of 55 in. lbs.

Call Buchanan's Spoke or see if the dealer has any.

I know my Buchanans stainless nipples use a 6mm wrench and, if I remember correctly, call for 80 inch pound (minimum) with the matching stainless spokes. Depending on rim circularity the torque of the individual nipples will vary.
