'11 FXDB Dual Disc Conversion Question
I know that there are tons of threads about this already and I've read through probably every one of them... bobber07's is one of the best BTW... but I have not found an answer to my specific question.
I've been keeping a close watch on eBay for the last 2 months trying to snag a right side fork slider from an FXDF to complete my parts list for my conversion; however, every time that I find an FXDF being scrapped out the right side lower is damaged or already sold. I've found plenty of sets of fork sliders off of 00-13 touring models which are also 49mm fork tubes, so my question is will 49mm fork sliders off of a 00-13 touring model fit a '11 FXDB?
I can buy a '11 FXDF right side new for ~$250 and still have to PC both left and right side lowers or I can buy a set from a touring model, already PC'd, for ~$250 and just replace both of my lowers.
Help me out here guys. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was afraid of that. I've got about another month before I'll be able to complete the upgrade, so I'll continue to keep my eye out and maybe get lucky. I was trying to avoid the LR lowers because I'd need to buy both sides otherwise my OCD would kill me. If not, then I'll just buy a new FXDF slider and be done.
Monster,
What engine mods did you do to get 129hp/147tq?

There's another thread on here someone is trying to do just that. I'm sure you can, but not exactly sure what's involved. Good luck!

All it takes is money. You can do it if you throw enough money at it....
If you get the whole set up from a bike with dual disks and ABS I would think it would work. Might be cheaper to buy a bike with all that to begin with, then swap over Street Bob, or whatever kind of bike's tins.
