my '09 fat bob had lousy braking up front and now my '11 has great breaks.Why,I don't know but maybe changing pads and bleeding them out will help you.The potential for good stopping is there,just needs to be sorted out.

It actually stops pretty good, at least when compared to the single disc I used to have, nice firm feel and two finger brakes but if bolting on a set of these would improve things I'm all for that.

I put dual Touring calipers on my '06 Street Bob a few years ago and did a test of them. Here are the results:

It was a great upgrade. Jay

The wrong way:
This is Jay Risks bike done the right way:
You can not put a Touring/V-Rod Brembo onto any 2006~Current Dyna without some kind of modification where the calipers are re-located lower for a 300mm rotor.

What about using touring rotors with the Fat Bob sliders?

Use the head! The reason why any 300 mm rotor either it be Touring or Dyna is because of the caliper mounting. Unless you are prepared to make relocating brackets (as said before) than you do not use Dyna sliders. What do you think would happen when you get some wear on those pads? Why do you thank that all rotors have a small band of un-swept area on the outside of the rotor? Why make rotors that large if they do not need to be that large? I make my living figuring out this stuff. It takes time, money for R&D as well as buying this stuff to measure, and effort.
