Default Shock bolt

Does anyone know the diameter of the shock bolts for a 92 Heritage? I am trying to get a set or Progressive shocks I got dirt cheap to work on my bike. They are for an older model so they have the stud end. My plan is to get a pair of rod ends that will go over the stud. All the rod ends I have come across have a 1/2 diameter bore at the bearing.

I see a lot of these questions. Not sure if you're in the boonies or near a town, but Home Depot has a gizmo near all the bolts ("Fastener" aisle) that you can screw nuts into and bolts onto to determine size. Assuming within a certain range. If the bolt is too big, what I do is start going through the nuts, finding one that fits, then I'll know the size, since those come in larger sizes. (Home Depot has big nuts. Heh.)

(I obviously don't know the answer to your question, but hoping that might help.)

The shoulder bolt Harley uses for the shocks uses a 21/32” I.D. washer so the shoulder area itself is most likely 5/8”.
