Parkerizing Rear Brake Rods

How long are Big Twin Harley rear brake rods?

A buddy is going to make me a "extra-wide drywall mud pan" for Parkerizing my K-model (and Sportster) brake rods (about 23" long). I want to make sure it's long enough to do anything that comes down the pike. He measured his Indian Chief brake rod, and that's 24" long. Do I need to go any longer?

Doesn't anyone here own a big twin Harley? - and a tape measure?

Harley Hummer brake rods are about 22-1/2" long. Indian Chiefs are about 24" long. WLAs are about 30" long.

So I'll have a 32" pan made up - UNLESS YOU TELL ME what length your Knucklehead and Panhead brake rods are.
