Default Dual disk on a 2018 Low rider
Question for everyone, really love the new Low Rider line. Just wanted to know what would it take to put dual disks on this bike? Would getting new lowers just be enough for the front or new would the additional of new wheels be necessary too? I have a opportunity to pick one up at a good discount and wanted to factor in getting dual disks on the front. Also, not interested in the Fat Bob line at all. Thanks.

Does yours have ABS? Wondering how the additional caliper/fluid volume would affect it. Unless the wheels have mounting capabilities for the rotor, you’ll need new wheels (or wheel if you don’t mind a mismatched set), a slider (that can use the new Showa DBV internals), a larger master cylinder, new brake lines and the question on the ABS remains (if applicable). I find the single disc more then adequate, but I also installed Lyndall gold + pads on the front.

That is awesome. I didn’t know they made them for the Low.

TinCupChalice from the Dyna forum has this and speaks very highly of it. On my to-do list now.

And, you get to save weight over doing a double front rotor.

Thats gotta be the easiest major improvements you can do. I’ve done it on every bike that had one of those little pancake horns. (3 so far, including the ‘19)

Default New Bars



Changing to Big Al's and 5.5" pull back riser, might relocate the turn signals too.

Looking good oldmike! I got three questions for you.
1) Is that the low mid or high big Al's handlebar?
2) How's the reach feel compared to stock?
3)Were you able to unplug the wiring without removing the tank?
Again, it looks really good!!!!!
