I can measure mine, however mine is lowered 2 inches. But I can measure from top to bottom compressesed (weight of bike on it) and uncompressed (on a jack). Also this measurement will included the top of the triple tree (about an half to three quarters inch). I will run out to the shop in a little while and get it.

Here is what I got.

Measureing from the top of the upper bracket triple tree to center of axle compressed with weight of bike only 27 3/4 inches.
My bike is lowered 2 inches.

Measureing from the top of the upper bracket triple tree to the center of axle is 30 1/4 inches uncompressed on a jack.

The upper bracket (part number 45456-86A) is about 1/2 inch thick and was included in the above measurement.

The width from center of the fill hole to fill hole is 9 1/2 inches.

The part number left side complete fork slider and tube assembly is
45916-00.

The part number right side complete fork slider and tube assembly is
45915-00.

The above part numbers are for tubes only and do not include stem or brackets.
