Default Bobtail fender width

Can anyone with an '06 or newer Softail with a bobtail rear fender (as pictured) get me a reasonably accurate measurement between the rear fender struts, or the width of the fender? I'm wanting to put that style fender on my Dyna. There was a similar fender on older Dyna Wide Glides, but it was considerably narrower. Obviously I'll need to do some significant modifications to make it fit my bike.

Excellent, thank you. I measure mine just slightly narrower than that. If need be I can remove a thin section down the middle to make it work.
