Dual Disk Conversion w/ ABS
I finally have all of the parts for my dual disk conversion on my '14 FXDB with ABS. One question remains, do I need anything else for the current ABS setup? I am swapping my current spoked wheels out for some FXDL mags that are coming off of a non-ABS bike. Are the bearings the same? Spacers, etc? Thank you.

Sorry Abe, but personally whenever I see HD Brembos on a 06-later Dyna, I know that they really didn't understand the differences of the parts involved

The only thing thats a little off is the front fender sits a little higher. Wonder if thats because of the bolt-on placement on the VRod lowers or the adapter used to make the lowers work with the FXDB damper rod.

I glad you said "VRod lowers" ... My quick glance just saw a 06-later Dyna with HD Brembos.
But now after looking again, I see you that do have VRod Sliders ... That solves the caliper positioning ... (radial positioning)
Good Job
You probably mentioned the fender being higher because now the fork brace fits different? ... It's because VRod Sliders are Shorter than Dyna sliders
Btw, who made the damper rod adapter?
