 Here's a comparison between a couple damper tube sets. Notice they are of different lengths and that the holes at the bottom are different sizes. The actual length & size of holes varies by the model in which it is intended to be used. Here's a comparison between a couple damper tube sets.

 +**TIPS**
 +
 +The 39mm Fork Caps (which are 6-pointed) need a 1-3/​8"​(1.375"​) 6-point socket or Cap Wrench. A usable equivalent is a 35mm(1.378"​) size. It's a good idea to wrap masking tape, electrical tape or duct tape (depending on the thickness of the tape) around the chrome cap to protect if from marks. ((See this XLForum Thread: https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-suspension-frame-forks-handlebars-fuel-tank-oil-tank-fenders/​86709-fork-cap-socket-size?​t=675643))
 +
 +Use a 6-point socket, rather than a 12-point version, to lessen the chance of rounding the points on the cap. This is also why an adjustable wrench should be avoided.
 +
 +Loosen (not remove) the Damper Bolts (6mm Allen Key) while the forks are still on the bike so the spring tension can help hold the Damper Tube (internal) from rotating while loosening the bolt.
 +
 +For reassembly, prepare the fork cap by aligning it with the slider tube (no springs installed) and mark the exact point (on both the cap and the slider) where the threads begin to engage - This is extremely helpful in getting the cap back on while compressing the spring.
 +
 +Use a 1-1/2" PVC coupling for the fork seal driver (coupling center spline removed).

 +===== Fork Oil Drain Screws =====
 +
 +45790-80 - Stock __JIS-head__ Drain Screw with Washer (Requires 1 for each fork)\\
 +    * (Starting in 2008, some models do not have fork oil drain screws)
 +    * (Use a JIS screwdriver for JIS screws. JIS screws look like Philips screws with a dot in the center of the head, but the JIS version is a wider blade with different spline angles. Using a Philips screwdriver on a JIS screw will often round out the screw head. However, using a JIS screwdriver on a Philips-head screw may work just fine, since the driver splines fit snugly on the upper, heavier part of the screw head.)

 +45815-03 - Chrome Fork Slider Drain Screw Kit ((Folkie of the XLFORUM https://​www.xlforum.net/​forum/​sportster-motorcycle-forum/​sportster-motorcycle-suspension-frame-forks-handlebars-fuel-tank-oil-tank-fenders/​90919-size-tpi-of-fork-drain-screw?​t=738626))\\
 +Screw size is M4 (0.7mm) × 6mm - Includes a pair of chrome allen head drain screws and washers - Uses 2.5mm allen key. \\
 +(Try a 3mm allen key first, the chroming takes up some space in the hex slot) \\
 +
 +You can also upgrade to socket head (Allen head) bolts to help prevent stripping out heads. ​ \\
 +These are stainless steel bought from a hardware store. Size M4 (0.7mm) × 8mm. \\

-45790-80 - Stock __JIS-head__ Drain Screw with Washer (Requires 1 for each fork)\\ +
-    * (Starting in 2008, some models do not have fork oil drain screws) +
-    * (Use a JIS screwdriver for JIS screws. JIS screws look like Philips screws with a dot in the center of the head, but the JIS version ​is a wider blade with different spline angles. Using a Philips screwdriver ​on a JIS screw will often round out the screw head. However, using a JIS screwdriver on a Philips-head screw may work just fine, since the driver splines fit snugly on the upper, heavier part of the screw head.) +
