Dual Disc Brakes for a StreetBob?
A couple of us have been talking about putting dual front disc brakes on our Street Bobs, and we've run into problems. No kit available from H-D; Vrod lower forks might have worked but turn out to be 1" shorter than the Bob's; questions about any wheels for the Bob being fitted with a second rotor; etc.
Has anyone else tried this or have any ideas where to steer us? I can't believe that H-D or someone else hasn't come up with a dual disc brake kit for the 49mm forks on the '06 and later Dynas. Jay

RE: Dual Disc Brakes for a StreetBob?
why? .... looks? ... braking increase?
If you are just looking to get better braking, change your pads to something better (like Lyndall's)... I hear the Lyndall pads with their rotors will really stop your ***. you will spend a heck of a lot less $$$ too.
if you are going for looks... sorry, don't have anything for you

I spent 2 hours last Friday going through the parts book for V-Rods and SB's.
Slider tubes are indeed different between V-Rod and SB.
The V-Rod dual disc is not a transposable solution. It certainly is not a seemless solution.
You would think it would be. HD has went to sleep on this one.
Alternate solutions are:
PM has the 6 piston 11.5" caliper with floating rotor: ~$900.
PM has a 13" 6 piston caliper and rotor also.
Brembo through their US distributor QTM has a 4 piston/4 pad 12.6"(320mm) caliper and floating rotor:~$915
If I do change I'll probably go with the Brembo; taking advantage of the 4 piston/pad and slightly larger rotor size.

AndI think the 08 Dynas have a 25mm axle, down in size from the 06-07 1" axle. If so, probably need both Fat lower legs?
I'm going to dual disc V-Rod mags on my lowered Bob,so I will most likely use dual mount legs too.

where did you get this info??
1 inch is 25.4mm.
why would they change from 25.4mm down to 25mm? makes no sense.

https://www.hdforums.com/m_1017804/tm.htm I have single Brembo on my 06 Superglide. I have 98 hp. and see no need for duel discs on front........
