Default Fork Tubes

I need to replace the fork tubes on my 2008 FXDF. The previous owner left a severe nick in one and the seal failed. I do not want to do this twice so I am asking those who have actually bought and used fork tubes for their recommenadtions for a fork tube kit, espcially if one of the forum sponsors has good gear.
Thank you for your thoughts,
Rol427

the best stock length tubes are the ones your dealer has.

In the old days there was a company called Forking by Frank. I used some tubes from them over 30 years ago. At the time they were thought to have better quality than stock. I don't know if they're still that good or even still in business.
