Default I want dual disk brakes on my 2005 Fatboy

I am looking for info on adding dual disk brakes to my 2005 Fatboy. I have did a little searching to see if I can use forks from Touring Harley frontends, but not much info on the subject. Can anybody chime in with part numbers or info on the parts needed to do this?

You need another slider for the right side that has the mounting points for the caliper. And a wheel setup for dual discs. Sorry, no part numbers. You also need a new master cylinder that is 11/16" bore for dual disc.

Thanks DR V-TWIN. I was looking for anybody that has info on what Harley OEM parts I could use for this project. I am trying to gather info on the Harley touring bikes front forks to see if I can do a swap using their fork sliders mounted to my fork tubes. I realy want to stay with Harley front end parts so I can keep the cost down and get the parts through ebay if possible.
