RE: V-Rod frontend on 06 Dyna, Help!
Chandler, could you elaborate on what you said about using the inner tubes from the WideGlide? If the V-rod lowers are 1/2" shorter than the Street Bob's, how do you compensate for that loss in overall length? What would be involved in using the WideGlide inner tubes? Jay

Ihave the V-Rod lowers (kept the 06 Street Bob upper forks and trips), but I kept the Dyna wheel - it has the mounting point for the second disk. Be careful, as the V-Rod internals are way stiffer than the Dyna. Ended up putting in Racetech Springs and valving to get the ride right. Now it is perfect. The braking difference is extreme - way better now.

Japan i think that he just swapped the lower leg on one side so that he could run the duel brakes... what about using the front end from aFt bob... ... if you just pull the forks and lower sliders they should bolt right up... boom... duel disks... i have been wrong before though... it was a tuesday i will never forget it
