Default FLHX Fork Tube Application Years?

Can anyone tell me what all year FLH fork tubes will cross over to the tubes on a 2011 FLHX. Need to replace some slightly bent tubes on a neighbors 11' FLHX & he's looking to go used or after market and we want to make sure he buys the right replacements. Thank You!

Measure the length of his tubes and buy 41mm diameter tubes in the same length. If you buy used make sure there are absolutely no vertical lines or scratches in the chrome that you can feel with a fingernail. A new set of tubes will run you around $250 (for show chrome, hard chrome will be more) and depending on what you can find used may be worth it especially if you have to do the job over again because the used tubes are damaged and won't seal....

You can check actual part numbers and years on-line here, if that's any help.
