Default Fat Bob right fork leg part number

Whats the part number of the right fork leg of a Fat Bob? I'm planing a dual disk convertion for my 2011 FXDC.

Does the Fat Bob slider have the same finish as the FXDC?

You might want to consider using a Low Rider right fork leg instead of the Fat Bob right fork leg. The Fat Bob leg has the caliper lug mounted about .140 of an inch inboard from where it needs to be for a mid glide conversion. Also the fender mount lug has a different bolt pattern thas is not easy to accommodate. also verify the fork leg is compatible with your damper rod assembly as I think some changes occurred with the later parts.

This is what my Fat Bob conversion looks like, machine work was required on both calipers, I did this before the Low Rider was introduced. If I did this conversion today I would do it differently.

Thanks for pointing that out, so I guess it will be a Low Rider leg that I need to consider looking for one.
