As stated they are metric.
Harbor Freight has a nice assortment box of straight, 45 & 90 degree fittings.

Recently replaced all 8 grease nipples on the front A arms with M6 x 45 degree nipples, only problem I had with my 2011 RSS was that I had to drop the top A arms an inch to install the back nipple.
There was not enough room on this model to swing the grease nipple without it hitting the tapered gusseting plate just above the rear pivot point, once screwed in no worries, it clears everything.
You may need to get a couple of thin washers to shim the grease nipple so that it points outwards.

Now easy to grease with a standard flexible hose grease gun.

Found some at Napa that were short like the old one. It took for ever to put it.
