RE: PM 6 piston calipers on 08 Street Bob - No go!!!
PU parts but Harley did not realize I needed all of my parts. They forgot the inner bushings, wait some more. I did dry assemble the forks with the old bushings and they are the same length as stock (measured them) and the innards will work as well as any gold emulator/custom sprung 49 mm fork. No change or surprises. This will ride exactly the same with 2 calipers/V-Rod lowers as the 49mm Race Tech done by us on a stock bike.........Wait some more.

RE: PM 6 piston calipers on 08 Street Bob - No go!!!
Hi Guys,
I've got a 2008 wide glide and was inquiring about swapping the stock front caliper with a PM 6 piston part#0051-2915-CH Left-Side
I called PM twice and spoke to 2 different tech support guys (PM# in case anyone wants to call 800-479-4037) and they both confirmed in their catalog that this part will work on the 2008 models with the 300mm (11.8) rotor. This goes against what I have read in this blog - so now I am confused.
My next step - I currently have a PM 6 piston bolted onto my 2000 softail with a 11.5" rotor. I plan on unbolting it from the softail and placing on the 2008 dyna wide glide and checking for clearance and any rubbing of the rotor inside the caliper. If anyone has done this already and can save me work please reply back and let me know
Thanks,
Mark

Here's a good question: Did the Harley Davidson part number for dyna calipers change from 2007 to 2008? If it did, then I'd be skeptical of what the PM guys are telling you. If it didn't change that would seem to reinforce the possibility that the PM part would work too.

This chrome caliper kit has a different part number for 08 than for 00-07. Your plan to try the caliper from the 2000 Softy seems sound; keep us posted.
