Default Touring Brembo Calipers on Fat Bob

Been looking through the search but have not seen a definitive answer - can you put 2008+ OEM Brembo 4 pot calipers on a Fat Bob using the stock FB rotors? Is it worth the effort? Not after looks, just the best brakes I can get while still looking stock.

I wish I could help you with an answer but I have no clue. Im interested in finding out too though. That would be bad *** for sure.

Apparently they stop pretty well, I already have the touring master cylinder just not sure if the calipers will interchange.

I have tour brembos on my 2006 SG with 2008 FatBob lowers and 11.8 rotors. They work well. One thing about the touring brembos is that they are not rebuildable. So if you are going to go this route, buy new calipers instead of used.

Which rotors do you have on there and are they different diameter than the OEM FB ones? I'm using the HD vivid black floaters - same as the other Dyna rotors other than the color. Why aren't they rebuildable or is it a case of HD not offering the parts?

I just found this - aftermarket comes to the rescue.

I don't know what diameter the fatbob is specifically. I'd guess 11.8" or 300mm.

Here's the rotors I have. Hogpro / Lyndall Racing Brake Rotors: http://hogpro.com/showpage.php?page=special.htm

I far as I have read on the forum is the touring brembos are a lower end model and no one offers a rebuild kit.

see above - would you say they stop better than the Dyna calipers?
