Front End Question

A friend of mine is putting together a bike and has a question on length of fork tube to use. It's a rigid frame, with a 30 deg rake, no stretch and he's going to use a 16" front wheel. He is also using a wide glide front end. His question is how long do the fork tubes have to be to have the proper trail? Thanks

Google "perse performance" and a link will pop up for the calculator for that info. Can also be found in Drag Specialty books.

My guess is it will be the stock softail fatboy legth of about 22 7/8".
