Brembo Brakes on a Dyna Fat Bob

I've done a search and have been reading conflicting information. I'd like to install Brembo front calipers, front master cylinder (as those on a '08- touring model) and rotors on my new 2009 Fat Bob. I believe the calipers and master cylinder will bolt right up. What about the larger rotors which need to be used with these calipers, what rotors will fit on my stock Fat Bob wheels? And is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks in advance........Rich

Thx Rob.
So any of those Brembo 11.5 rotors for a 2000-on bike fill fit. How about a stock rotor off a '08-on Dresser, would that fit on a '09 Fat Bob stock wheel?

I've been searching my tail off all day and I'm even more confused if this is even possible.
I'm going to make the question real simple.
Is there a way to install Brembo touring/vrod calipers on a Dyna Fat Bob ?

Thanks, Rich

Here's a pic of an '06 Street Bob with V-rod lowers, '09 FL Brembos and rotors. Howard at MotorcycleMetal.com did the work. Excellent. decreased the stopping distance from 95 to 75 feet from 50 mph. Also has Lyndall goldpads which help, too. Best upgrade I've done on the bike. Good luck. Fat Bob conversion will be easier- don't have to change out the lowers. Jay

I'm digging up threads today as I have a set of the bagger Brembos to put on my 2002 FXDXT. The calipers mount directly to the lowers,but the angle of the calipers is off a little bit it seems. Has anyone been able to put on 13" rotors with the brembos on a Dyna? I'll see if we have a 13" here at the shop and try mocking it up once the bike is put back together. I know the 11.8" stock size rotors from the baggers and Vrods will fit it seems there might be enough room for more. The more stopping power, the better.
