It would be a different Caliper adapter. One that wouldn't be profitable for production. The fitment would Only be for 06-later Dynas using a Bagger Brembo
(Technically, that special adapter would also be for Only a 06-later Dynas using a 2015 Softail or 2014 Sportster front caliper)
The reason that 06-later Dynas are kinda unique is because when the different Harleys went to 11.8" from 11.5", Dynas were the only ones that accomplished this by moving the caliper mount location on the sliders and keeping the previous caliper. All the other models keep that the same mount location on the sliders and redesigned the caliper.
Btw, in regards to the TC Bros application listing, it's fortunate that you have a 08-later Dyna because the 06-07 Dynas would also need to select the 08-later kit for it to work (the 06-07 Owners might not know that and just select the 2000-07 kit)
Most of those big brake kits are expecting people to use their OE calipers or one with the same dimensions ... not what you're wanting to do

In other words, it's whenever Harley changed those particular models to 11.8" ... Redesigned Caliper except Dyna
Btw, HD has now put 12.6" rotors on the 2024 Street & Road Glide. Only those models in the Touring line. (same ones used on the Pan America). They accomplished that by moving the caliper mounts. So now Only the 2006-17 Dynas and 2024 SG/RG acomplished their respective Rotor Size Increase by moving the caliper mounting on the Sliders.
The above is just info for those interested

Got rid of the absolute crap aftermarket combination mirror/turn signals that some previous owner installed, went to generic repo stock mirrors and repo bullet type 1999+ turn signals from Chris Products. The mirrors were a problem, the thread is 8mm-1 so the Chris TS adapter wouldn't thread on, fortunately I learned from a thread here that a 5/16-24 die would fix that and it worked. The quality of the Chris stuff is very good, correct wire colors and terminals so I was able to use the stock TS connector once I fished it out of the backbone and another thread here showed how to depin the connector using a jewelers screwdriver, so I didn't have to hack up the wiring or do any splices. A much bigger job than I expected (of course) but worth it, a greatly improved and safer view in the mirrors plus the turn signals are far brighter and more visible.

Got everything put together and took my first drive for this spring. It's still just around 40F outside so a bit chilly but very nice.
New for this year is the Deuce rear wheel with 170/60-17 tire, S&S air cleaner, and I just finished removing clear coat and oxide from the fork lowers.

I changed the motor mounts on my '97 Wide Glide. Front pipe was banging into the frame, noticed it in Daytona. I was positive the front was shot, but decided to do the rear as well. After a lot of reading here on the Forum I elected to go with OEM replacements, my local dealership had them in stock. Rear was tired but probably OK, front was cracked and shot as expected. Rear one took about an hour, PITA by yourself. Front was 15 minutes. But now it is done.
