currently I have fat bob trees on my 08 street bob and am running a 21" wide glide wheel. I want to convert to dual disc and a fatter front tire. My thought is to switch over to fat bob fork legs and get a touring wheel , rotors, calipers and 11/16 master cylinder. Anyone know if all this should bolt right on or will the touring wheel be an issue. I know I could just go with a fat bob wheel and brakes but there are more touring wheels options on the used market. Also what to do about the fender, currently I use spacers with my original mid glide SB fender.
Also if you have done dual disc did you change your fork fluid to heavier weight or fork springs to deal with the added dive.

Thanks for any further insight.

 

I am in this same boat right now. Looking for a front touring hub to lace to the rim and spokes I already have.

 

Use Low Rider Sliders if you want NO Issues with the Touring front wheel...otherwise Machining is in your future

 

The Fat Bob slider moves the right caliper mount inboard a little, correct?

 

Left and Right...

Left a lot, Right a little (relatively)

 

Gotcha. You happen to know why? Seem senseless to me.

 

Following this thread...
I have an 08 Fat Bob and want to change out the wheel to a cast spoke touring style; I have one in hand from an 08 FLH...so I am going to have rotor alignment issues? Hmmm...

 

I don't really know, I mean I have some ideas, but that's all.

But I don't think it "senseless" to the HD engineers...they typically have a reason for things

 

alignment issues?...Yep

Read this and replace SBob with FBob...

I'm more ok with milling the sliders now, but I still like milling/facing the Touring wheel if someone has the resources.

Facing off the hub is easier. I'm planning to do that myself on my lathe. I don't have a mill at home. I could take the slider to work and do it there, but it's a helluva lot more work.
