Mind you we have later model Dyna's than you have - not sure if the older switches are the same as the later ones.

does the caliper grab the entire sweep area of the rotor, or is there a bit of an overhang? I thought I remember reading that the body of the caliper is just a bit further away and the entire pad doesn't touch the rotor??

Dooley - Your Fat Bob should have braided lines already on it, all the dynas got braided lines after the front end redesign in like 2006-07; when ever they got the larger diameter forks

I think you were wise to keep the DOT 4 that Brembos use. From what I've read, though DOT 5 is more stable, ( the DOT 5 in my 2000 Road Glide is still the original for example,) the seals in Brembos are not compatible with DOT 5 and therefor Harley chose to go to DOT 4 for that very reason when they brought on the Brembo brakes to HD.

So is there a Brembo rear setup for Dynas? I have a pair of Brembo front calipers waiting on me, I'd like to upgrade the rear as well.

What about situations with loose gravel? Threshold braking? wet silppery conditions? laying her down on purpose?

I think you should do the back brake mod for us too!

No need for the back brake for my bike. Someone else can do that.
