Default Measuring front fork diameter?

How do I tell what millimeter measurement my front forks are? I have a 2002 Dyna Low Rider, but it has a wide glide front end. I need to get a windshield for this and don't actually know what year the wide glide fork conversion is. So, how and at what point do I measure to determine the millimeter measurement? Would it be the tubes just above the triple tree? Thank you.

Measure between the upper and lower triple trees. Then it's just a matter of doing a inch to mm conversion.
