96 Fatboy caliper upgrade advice
#11
I don't see why you couldn't use whatever dot you choose. Somebody would need to explain that to me, really well and in small words so I could understand.
My only concern would be contamination of two different ratings of brake fluid. I would clean them both and do a m/c rebuild to boot just to make me comfy.
Triple trees for an FL softie are narrower than a bagger. This I am sure of. Unless you machine some width off of the wheel hub then a dual disc will not fit easily into a fat boy . Part numbers for light bars are different as well from bagger to FL softail.
Good luck,
Tom

What is that little bracket? Or who makes it?
I am running this caliper and bracket combo on my Twin Cam with the stock 9/16" master cylinder with no issues. I am currently in the works of installing a very similar Brembo and bracket on my Evo. Like the Twin Cam I will be using the stock 5/8" master cylinder. Both bikes are using Magnum Shielding Sterling Chromite II brake lines and Motul RBF600 DOT 4 brake fluid. Below is a pic of the Twin Cam, I'll try to get one of the Evo soon...
