Alright so its time to get going on the next mod, I have been browsing the past few days on adding dual discs to my 2012 Bob. I have seen the hot bike article and what most other members have done but I have a few questions for you experts.

I will be running the stock 2012 Bob spokes for now if I do this mod...

FDXF lowers...
Does the left hand lower match up correctly to the stock street bob caliper/rotor or does it need to be spaced?

Also I have read the right rotor will also need to be spaced (assuming I use a stock FatBob Caliper).. does anyone know distance or if it doesn't need it with the stock rims?

Reason being I have the ability right now to pick up a FXDF front end.

anyways thanks in advance any help would be appreciated.

 

Here's what I did-

Step 1-Get the FXDF Lowers, Right Side Disc & Caliper, DD Brake Line, and 11/16 Master Cylinder.

Step B-Replace just the right side lower slider with the FXDF and bolt everything to it.

For my bike I had to put washers between the fork slider and caliper to space them correctly, but I wasn't using the stock wheels (which have thinner hubs).

From what I've read-the left side FXDF leg won't bolt up quite right and you would have to machine the caliper. But I didn't try.

 

Cool yeah I love your bike man, I want to know if anyone has tried the left leg I am able to get the whole set up different springs in the bike than what I run, so I'm trying to do it all without redoing my lowers again. Mcginess did you use late model sporty rims to put mags on your 07?

Thanks!

 

Thanks! Mine are 05 fxdx wheels.

 

if i were you i would call howard at motorcyclemetal(.com). he'll tell you point by point exactly what you need. im looking at the same thing as u for my 2012 fxdb and he told me to get the vrod lowers and he has a system where you can put brembo brakes on your bike (best brakes out there even better than performance machine). and he has a bunch of other cool suspension setup stuff if your interested in that as well. but you should definately call him
