Thanks,

I did upgrade my front master cylinder when I converted to the dual Brembo's. Figured I might need to do the same when I did the back. I'll find out tomorrow when I finish the install.

Works great! BTW, on my FXDC, using a rear touring brembo bracket I used 3/8" spacer between the bracket and the swingarm. I used the stock spacer (FXDC) between the wheel bearing and the bracket.

So, how is it compared to the OEM on that bike?

Smoother, more in control and less grabby.

so what M/C did you end up using? I'm about to do the rear swap on my 03 wideglide.

The rear Brembo really provided a stout anchor for the Dyna.

Could you provide pictures man I’m currently doing the swap and so I can’t use the stock brake line?
