Default 49mm fork conversion

So I bought a 2002 dyna and the guy before swapped some 49mm forks on but didn't set up the dual disk I have the caliper and disk where is the best place to get the actual brake line.

Depends on your bars and controls. If you have a stock configuration from lever to caliper, any place that sells harley parts. If you have a non-stock configuration, you'll have to get a cutom or semi-custom lineset from an aftermarket supplier.

Oh, maybe a stupid question but, do you have the correct dual disc RH slider and hub?

You're going to need to do some research. Dual disc has a different master cylinder, too.

There are several members here who have completed dual disc conversions. I'm working on one, but they would understand the intricacies better than me.

Still a work in progress but on my '99, I'm using a 2009 Fat Bob front end with a modified touring hub and custom lines. I forgot to order rotor bolts so I'm a week out from being able to measure for my hub mods.

Should be easy enough to make this determination. Look at the left slider, you will see two mounting standoffs on the slider that the caliper bolts to. Same mounts exist on the right side slider? Then yes. If they don't, then no to the slider and you'll have to replace.

I hear this takes 50 feet off your 60-0 braking distance.
