Default Spring length

I need the length of stock springs to see if I need to order a custom saddle bag. I purchased the bike with the lowered springs on it.
Not sure of best way to do this my spring from very bottom of mount to very top of bracket is 12 inches.
From the bottom of my rear fender to tire is 2".
I have a 06 street bob if that helps any.
I can take other measurements or if you give me any I can try to use them.
Thanks bag less !

I need a actual measurement on a bike to determine the length. I was told they were changed or modified.
I might just drive to a friends and take some measurements.
