Default Forward control brake rod length

So i recently installed fwd control on my bike, all works fine, but one thing that bothers me is the awkward brake peg position…

i measured the rod that came with the kit and its about 15”, after some googling i found that dkcustoms have the adjustable rod… and im assuming i need to get a shorter one to get the pegs lower

anyone knows the base unadjusted length of the rod?
