Default Enforcer wheel on fat bob

Hello all. I've done searches and came up with a thread that a guy put a 14 up enforcer wheel on his fat bob. He used the lower fork sliders, calipers, spacers, rotor's and wheel from the bagger to do the swap. My question is, is it possible to put the enforcer wheel on, and use my stock forks, and calipers? I'll have to use the enforcer rotors that came with brembos due to how they mount. The brembo rotors are 11.8 inches, same as my non brembo rotors. So can the non brembo calipers be used with the enforcer rotors?

Your Fat Bob Sliders really won't work directly with a "Touring" wheel. The rotor-to-rotor width is wider on the Touring wheel. You can machine your Fat Bob slider's caliper mounting bosses if your so inclined. Easiest way is to use the Low Rider sliders...everything will line up.

You can use your existing calipers on 06-later Dynas with any 11.8" rotors

thanks for the info. Must be something Im missing here.. do the calipers mount in a different relation to the sliders on a fat bob? Both wheels are 5" hubs correct?

Yes, Fat Bobs (and Wide Glides, but has a single caliper) have mounting bosses more inward than "touring" or 06-later Mid-glide Dynas

5" hubs?...
That's a Mid-glide Hub. "Touring" and fat bob hubs are wide-glide hubs with the "Touring" hub being slightly wider of the two

ok, so the low rider sliders and bagger sliders are the same then?

They are approximately the same in respect to Axial (Horizontal) positioning of the mounting bosses on the slider, but not in Radial (~vertical) positioning.

That's why the 2008-later "touring" used the new Brembo with different dimensions to accommodate the increase in rotor diameter from 11.5" to 11.8". Dynas accomplished that in 2006 by moving the mounting bosses Radially (~vertically) and used the same caliper as the years before.


EDIT:
NOTE: The 2014-later are the only years of Touring sliders you can use since they are 49mm and to re-use your Dyna calipers, you would have to decrease to 11.5" rotors or get some Touring/Vrod Brembos to stay with 11.8"
