Default Axle diameter question

What is the stock axle diameter for an '02 touring model?

Does it differ between models, i.e. Roadking/Electraglide?

The 02 touring bikes were the first model year with sealed bearings, new stronger swingarm and 1" axles.

Actually, 2000 was the first year for sealed bearings (3/4"), and they changed to 1" in 02.
