Fork Head tube size for West Coast Choppers

I just picked up this West Coast Choppers bike. It came with no Fork, headset or Bars. My question is not knowing the what size is the fork top tube diameter ?? I do know it is a threadless fork they used. Triple tree and large diameter for the fork tubes. 1 or 1 1/8 inch Just do not know. I will measure the tube of the frame and post it. Maybe that will help?? Anybody have a Jesse James WCC 20" bike they can measure? Might have to build a fork for this one. Springer?? Thanks..
I guess I cannot post a pic yet..

You can post a pic from your PC. you just can't use links until you have ten posts.

You will find a lot more people who know a lot more about that type of bike over at Ratrodbikes.com forums. It's a friendly bunch too.

it's 1 1/8". so is an occ chopper fork if you're desperate. probaly be easier to find one, but i'd hold out for a wcc fork (i think it's a better fork anyway) or something nonstock or custom.
