Default fork sliders
Will 2000-2007 fork sliders work on my 1998 Road King? Can I just replace the sliders and convert my bike to dual piston brake calipers?

If you change to dual discs you have to buy one new slider. Otherwise, just put the new brakes on.

Looks like MP missed the point.

It's a little more complicated than just changing sliders. The axles are a different size also, so sliders, axle, wheel, $$$$. What I will be doing with my '98 RG is to use an adapter to bolt the dual piston calipers to my sliders.
