Default Shifter Linkage Length/Fat Bob

Ok guys can't find my tape measure and I need to know what size shifter linkage I need for my Fat Bob? Doing the last few touches to my bike and getting a new linkage is one of them. So far the rims/rotors are done, HD tack/speedo combo, wrinkle black horn cover, RCD levers, trim around the lights are out for powder coat, and axle bolts are ordered. Just need a new linkage to finish it up, for now at least...LOl

I used a 12 incher (well what ever length is used for a soft tail)! Got it from J&P...called a Fat link! Very hi quality and the shorter length gave more mechanical advantage for the long Dyna shift arm and it also moves that shift arm out of the way of the oil filter! You don't have to disassemble it to adjust shifter height, just loosen the jam nuts and turn the rod! Take a lesson HD!

Took all my parts in (light bevel and linkage.) 35 bucks to do both? That kind of high for two small little pieces?

I just spray painted my stock linkage with gloss black engine paint I had and has held up good so far for a couple years
