Default axle size ?

I scored a set of black powder coated sliders and when I got them
I was told they fit a 2010 fatboy lo so I thought they would fit my Slim....
well they did not, they looked the same until I went to put the axle back in and noticed that the pinch side was too small for my axle. I was hot, I'm just glad that I did not damage the new seals or put in the new fork oil. What bikes use the 3/4 axle ? What bikes use the 1" axle aside from the Slim ?

They quit using 3/4" front axles in 2006. The pinch side of the axle is a different diameter then the actual axle diameter though on all of them.
