Fork for Dual Disk Street Bob
I want to put on dual disks on my Street Bob. Not sure what I will do for brakes just yet (stock Harley, Arlen Ness big rotor, or Tokicos) but first step will be to get a fork that has a caliper mount on the right side. Will I have to get a pair of forks or just one? BTW, the bike is a 2008 Street Bob and the fork lowers have a brushed silver appearance.
How likely is it to find a used fork or even fork brake assembly used?

The casting differences are not huge but definitely noticeable. Getting a pair of new sliders will set my back $600. I guess that I will keep searching used for a while & hope I come across some. How many years back can I go back on the FXDL sliders and have them work w/ my 2008?

The Silver Right Slider is $220 shipped to your door from Surdyke ($440 for the pair)
FWIW, you can buy a Chrome Set for $399 from the same place.

I'll probably be living with a mismatch then. $220 is more than I'm willing to pay for 'pretty'.

At one time I was also trying to figure out how to get a double disc setup for not a lot of bucks. I see you're considering the AN Big Brake, so why not try just one of them and see what kind of improvement you'll have. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I understand we might each have different goals in stopping power, but after I installed the Big Brake I was very happy with the results, especially considering the cost. If it ends up not being enough you'll have better brakes while you can look for a deal on the rest of the setup.
