Dual Disk Question (I know, I know)
Doing a conversion on my 03 super glide to a dual disks. I've already read a ton of forums arguing as to whether this is pointless or not. Only issue I'm having is the fork sliders. I figured the right slider off of an 03 fxdx or fxdxt would do the trick. However I've noticed the part numbers for the left slider, which I assumed would be the same part number (same year, same side, both 39mm, both have correct calliper/fender mounts), are completely different. I'm hoping one of you guys could explain why, and potentially whether that means I would need to buy a set of lowers rather than just the right side.

The DX sliders are different, as they have external compression adjustment in the sliders. Weren't 39mm Low Riders dual disk? That's probably the slider you need...
Perhaps an "expert" will chime in, like Multihdrdr!

On that Low Rider above?
An Original Equipment Narrow-glide, Dual Disc, Laced spoke 19 x 2.5" wheel
In Regards to 19" Laced Spoke Front Wheels ...
The Narrow-glides (05-earlier)came with Dual Disc Hubs if it came with Dual Cals otherwise you got Single Disc Hubs, Whereas with 06-later Mid-glides there was no such thing as Single Disc Hubs ... they all come as Dual Disc Hubs.

Just took a look at my front wheel. Unless I miss my guess, there's a plate on the right side of the hub that I can remove and install in its place a second disc! (Profile rim). So, now all I need is a matching caliper and master. Anyone have the part numbers for them? My (left) caliper is 44046-00D. (Or do I need to replace both)?
