Forwards questions

I was given a set of forwards for my T Sport. The linkage is not with them. First question...does anyone know the length of the shifter rod? There is on on Ebay for cheap but I have to make sure the length is right. Second....does anyone have a brake rod? I'll also post in the wanted section for the brake rod. Thanks

Any long rod will work, when you disconnect shifter peg you can pull off spine and adjust back and forth to make it work with rod, and boot fit between peg and shifter.

so you know my shift rod is about 13 1/4" center nut to center nut. Not sure how they decide the measurement. This is on an 05 dyna. Bet you could just order the parts from the stock part #s on whatever year wideglide matches your bike. IE you have an 01 get the part #'s for an 01 wideglide.

As far as I know, any linkage/rod for a set of dyna forwards will work. The hardware on my forwards came off a much newer wideglide, and I'm on a '99 FXDX.
