Default Sportster dual disc brake upgrade - parts list

The '07 XL 883 Roadster is the only 883 version of the Sportster (in '07) to come with dual disc brakes, and the parts are black. The '07 & '08 XL 1200 Roadster is the only 1200 to come with dual disc and the parts are silver. There is no mechanical difference in the parts between the 883 and the 1200 versions; in this case ONLY the color is different. I'll provide you part numbers for the Black version since the bike in question was getting done in black. I'll make the assumption you'll be ordering and replacing all applicable parts. You can pare down the list as necessary.

I hope this helps someone out.

right fork slider - 46449-08
left fork slider - 46450-08
right caliper - 42877-07
left caliper - 42897-07
right brake disc - 44136-00
dual brake hose - 45319-04A
master cylinder - 45052-07
oil seals - (2x) 45378-87
brake line guide/clip - 45074-95

Note: There are small parts, bolts, crush washers, etc., that you can hunt down. You may or may not need new oil seals. Just grab them locally. They're cheap.

*EDIT* - please note, this is known to apply to 883s and 1200s with cast wheels. Machines with laced wheels may not have a dual disc capable hub on the front rim and may need updating.

I think all the wheels use the same hub, so it should be fine.

I ordered most of the parts from Chicago Harley ( based on a recommendation from this forum - *thumbs up* ). You can check around for pricing, and if you key in these numbers at the Chicago HD site, you can get their current prices. They discount on internet sales. Or, if you prefer to buy locally, your dealer can get your dealer to give you his current pricing. I get a 10% discount/rebate from my local dealer, so some of the items were purchased there.

Unless your 21" laced wheel is different from mine, there isn't any provision for mounting a rotor on the right side of the hub. 19" and 21" wheels have different hub widths also which would affect rotor to caliper alignment.

Good post.

I would also point out that the hub on the XL1200N is made for single left side disk only. The right side looks identical in size, but does not have the holes for mounting a disk.

I replaced front and year disks/pads with Russell floaters and Lyman pads; helps a little.

Excellent points regarding laced wheels. Original post updated with that information. Thanks!

I'm thinking of changing to a dual disc front wheel of the same size as the 48. Any ideas on how to go about doing this?

still, no one wants to admit how much it costs, the whole reason I looked.
