Default Frame Diameter on '06 FLST

Sorry to ask such a silly question but what is the diameter of the two frame tubes that come down from the fork tube towards the foot beds on a 2006 FLST? These are the two tubes which sandwich the regulator/rectifier and to which an engine guard is attached. I eyeballed/measured mine with a ruler and they appear to be 1-1/4" but a website selling cable clamps says that '01 and newer softails have 1-1/8 frame tubes. Admittedly, it is not trivial to eyeball/measure the frame diameter. Can you help me on this?

Second question - I am planning to buy Magnum Sterling Chromite II cables. What is the outer diameter of these cables so that I can determine if they will fit into the cable clamps? I'm probably blind but can't find this info on the Magnum website. Thanks.

G'day,

Vinish

Please pardon the shameless bumping of my own thread. Any other input on frame diameter? Anyone know the outer diameter of Magnum Chromite II cables? Thanks much.

G'day,

Vinish
