Default Fork and Frame sizes?
I looked in my 2008 Night Train owners manual and couldnt find what apparently is common knowledge to a lot of you.

39 or 41 mm forks?
3/4" or 1" axle?

Also does anyone know the size of the tubing used to make the downtubes on the frame?

Thanks for the help!

41mm

That was some tough info to find. I know HD has a full spec sheet somewhere because I found one online for my 08 Heritage but searched hi and lo for yours and only found it here:

Couldn't find any reference to axle size, not even in the "official" spec sheet for my bike
