Take a measurement for me.

Can anyone tell me the diameter of the fork cap for a KZ1000? I would like to know the diameter of the threaded part of the cap. Thanks!

Thanks, McDroid! Does that mean the threads on the cap are called "M28" threads?

OK, I just went online and researched thread pitch. I found a chart of all the metric thread pitches, and it looks like 1.0 pitch is about 25 threads per inch, right?
