Default Evo fxd fork tubes

What is the stock length of the fork tubes on a 1996 dyna superglide with a 39mm front end? Would it be the same as an fxr or sportster of that era? Plan on going +2 and can only find 86-03 sportster tubes. Yes I used the search function.

Ok everyone... I can find 22-1/4, 24-1/4, 26-1/4, and 28-1/4. Are the 22 inch ones -2 and so on. I'm guessing 26-1/4 is +2. I can't find this info anywhere.

I think that you are finding out that there isn't a "stock" length for the bikes you have listed. Dyna, FXR and sportsters all had different models within their family using different forks.

26.25 inches is showing as the stock length for a superglide in that year range

Thanks everyone. I'm going to just pull my front end apart so I make sure the tubes I order are +4. I found that site too but he increments I've found are even (22, 24, etc.) Thanks again and I will keep You guys posted as it needs new paint too. The tequila sunrise from a 2011 dodge ram is starting to look bad. Thanks again guys!
