Default Fork Spring Diameter?

Hey guys, I'm thinking about adding a 1" spacer on top of my fork springs to give me a slight rise in fork length. Does anyone have a pair of springs laying around from a late model sportster with 39mm forks? If so, what is the outside diameter of the spring? Thanks in advance....

3/4" schd 40 pvc pipe should be fine. You need to install a metal flat washer between the spring and spacer.
