Default Distance between bolts on Dyna forward controls?

I am working on makin my own kick Back Adapters for my forwrad controls. The issue is I am working on the blueprint at my house and my Dyna is at my Brothers. If anyone can tell me the exact distance between bolt holes, would be great. I only need it so I can print a template on paper. I think it is 1.5", but then I thought it might be 1.75.

So I just need a measurement from the center of the bottom bolt to the center of the top bolt. These are the 2 bolts that connect the forward control to the bike.

Thanks in advance...

Here's a diagram I made last year for the FXDP Floorboard Kit on 06 Later Dyna thread

Here is a pic of the brackets that I made last year. The distance between the upper and lower holes is 1.5" and the distance between the front holes and rear holes is 1.25" which is what will bring the controls back 1.25". 1.25" is the maximum you can move the controls back because of the inner primary cover.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I will size the ones you made and print them and duplicate. Nice work on those, lot better then spending $150 for chrome ones, when I want them black anyways.

What guage steel did you use to make those adapters?

Ghost - Those plates lookm great. I need to go to the hardware store and get some 1/4 steel I ahve some thicker stuff, but it will take for ever to cut. Do you have a full writeup on your mod?

FXDRider - The boards look sick! Nice work on the mod.
