Default Can you help a brother out?

Can anyone measure the length of the shifter rod/linkage on a touring bike and tell me what the length of it is less the rod ends? How about the overall length with the rod bolts (center of front mounting bolt to center of rear mounting bolt)?

I'm not at home and I don't have access to my Street Glide right now to tyake the measurements. I appreciate the help.

If you looking for something custom, it can be a bit longer and still work. My neighbor gave me a billet shift rod that was 13 1/2" and I installed it just fine. I needed to adjust the shift levers though. The front bracket just sits in there. It didn't change how the bike shifts at all.
