Default Dual disk Dyna with 41mm tubes.

Hopefully someone can help me out here.
I'm looking for a set of lower legs for my 2000 WG that are from a dual disk bike with 41mm fork tubes. Does anyone know of a Dyna with dual front brakes and 41mm fork tubes?
Thanks,

for the expense of lower legs and dual setup, you can improve the single one to probably give you equal or even better stopping power over say a stock dual setup.
new disc, pads, and caliper will probably cost less than what you are thinking about doing. Sure will look better as well.

Brakes are overrated... just drag you boots on the ground.

YOu can use V-Rod parts. I'v seen them on e-bay fairly cheap (considering). Swap the entire front end. Don't forget to upgrade the MC for the greater volume.

Default Dual Brakes

A member from Germany called yellowjam did the conversion with vrod legs on a street bob. If you search his posts you probably can find his posts. It was before the site was redone so I don't know if the pics came through the process. Good Luck !

You will need the lowers, fender, axle, spacers, rotor, Master cylinder, caliper, brakeline, and wheel that can accept a second rotor. These were on the Screaming Eagle Deuce. You can also look for Pearse lowers as you can dual disc those. The WideGlides from the 80's had dual discs but they were 10 inch rotors brake performance has improved dramatically over the past 20 plus years. It would cost over three times as much to make a single disc brake system work as well as a dual disc system. I dual disced my 2007 StreetBob for under $500 and you get much better feel, power, no fade, and much better modulation over a single disc. The brake pads and rotors will last over twice as long because more swept area will let the brakes run cooler. There is a much lower chance to warp a rotor with dual discs.

I already have everything except the wheel and lower leg. It isn't costing me much for the brake setup because I am changing my wheel/tire size anyway. I already had an 11/16 MC I bought off a friend.

The problem with using VROD lowers is that they are shorter than the stock ones and would lower the bike by about 2" (I think).
I'm not cool enough to lower my bike, so ...
