Default Fork nut size?

Anyone know what the top fork nut size on a 04 Roadking? I am changing my fork oil and don't have the right socket. I have a 36mm and a 32mm but it's somewhere in between I think it might be a 34mm can anyone confirm that or is it a standard size?. The service manual doesn’t say. I only want to make one trip to the store. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I bought the 1 3/8" shallow socket sold on ebay by a variety of vendors. Worked fine.

My 06 Heritage was 1 3/8", I'm pretty sure its the same as a RK. It's not on very tight. I had to use an open end wrench my bars were in the way for a socket.

Thanks for the quick replies I'm off to the store. Want to get a socket so I can torque it to specs.
