No, the 06,07 brakes will not work with the FXDF sliders they tweeked the mount about an 1/8".
Best and easiest way to get dual brakes that should work is to use the right slider from an 07 Street/Road Glide and the brake hardware that goes with it.
The FXDF uses Brembo style brake calipers with different banjo bolts and lines.

RE: Single Rotor/caliper. The initial stopping is near the same. The problem lies when you stop more than once (think windy roads) or if you have a heavy load (think Bagger). The thing most who try and modify their bike, do not have a clue what they are doing. Jay Risk I am not referring to putting 2 brakes on the front which is great but to take a brake off of a bike is not. Nobody ever conceders what the brakes are for. They convert velocity into heat. Not enough rotor to dissipate the heat, you are not going to stop. That may be a bad thing. More reading - less guessing.
This is a HD Brembo either V-Rod or FL. Same

RE: Street Bob Dual Brakes using FatBob Lowers?
Howard, thanks for your input on this issue. I've followed your earlier posts on this topic and want to put the Lyndall composite rotorsfor dual front brakes on my '06 Street Bob. Just haven't found the right way to do this, yet. Duals for me are the way to go, because I do 2 up riding w/ a load and that's when I need the extra rotor area and heat dissipation. Ryda, I think you've come closest to an actual conversion using the FatBob lowers. Please keep us all informed of your progress. There's a lot of interest in a conversion to duals for the '06 and later narrow fork Dynas. I'm still not sure about the FL Lowers and what problems would be encountered by going that route. Jay
