hey bro, i have no idea how to use this site.. im trying to send a pm but i cant seem to find any way to do so....
you need to read the rules bro. start posting and get involved around here. its the only way to learn..... but dont learn by posting in random threads with irrelevant information, also known as hijacking a thread. : )
Howdy, I have just tried to complete a fatbob dual disc conversion to my 2011 street bob by buying a set of fatbob sliders which I fitted successfully then an 11/16 bore m/cylinder which was successful also I bought the r/hand side caliper off a fatbob as well as a genuine disc from a street bob but when I put the streetbob front wheel on and go to mount the calipers the right one mounts to the fork but is tight and the original left caliper doesn't fit to the slider when fitting it over the disc? Should I have gotten other spacers or another axle? Cheers

The left Fatbob lower has an offset. I ended up having .125" taken off so I could get the brake caliper on. Then a little more machined from each side to get both calipers centered. The other option is to use your original caliper on the left side and have it powder coated.
You must have something wrong - Hot Bike did this very mod last year with the same parts and the only change was re drilling the fender - are your wheel spacers on the right side?
Read the Hotbike article. Did the swap and that is what I found. Swapped the left side lower back and forth between the new and old one to check the offset.
If I remember right, HotBike didn't mention drilling the fender either.
