Default softail deuce rear axle ?

do they make longer axles for the softail? i installed the vulcan deuce wide tire kit (180) the spacers from the kit and i just installed HD rear swingarm axle covers. these parts gave me only a few threads left on the axle. i did get the cotter pin in but i would like to have a axle about 3/8 " longer ??????????

thanks

I think the Dyna's axle is a bit longer than the stock Softail.

You can check Drag Specialties for this chrome one.
It's roughly 1/2" longer for a dyna.
I've been using one on my bike for several years now.....DS part number= 0214-0047
