Installing Dual Brembos on an older Dyna...
#22
True, DOT5 will swell any organic seals and overtime, well... my intention is to run DOT4 fluid in this system to preserve the Brembo Caliper seals - much easier to swap out the M/C piston seals if they fail.

My thread update - finally:
Completed this project in spring 2017 - all components installed perfectly but had to upgrade to progressive springs and 20wt oil to eliminate excessive nose dive . The only issue that I encountered was having to use the stock anchor screws (45405-75A) to secure the FXDXT lowers to the FXD stock slider tubes because the FXDXT screws (45399-96) are hollow to permit fluid flow adjustment and would compromise performance - I also haven't been able to locate a DOT4 label for the reservoir lid but that's OK :-) Total expenditure $882.00 not including my labor.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. That's really not for your FXD. That 46079-04 is for the FXDX adjustable forks.
You have to be able to "read between the lines" to get the correct one for a 2004-05 Dyna because they really didn't make a Dual disc model other than the FXDX (in the U.S. anyway, dunno about other countries).
Can you cancel or return your order? I can get you on the right path if needed

I think one thing to note is that the DX forks use a 10mm bolt to secure a cartridge damper inside the fork. The FXDs use only a 8mm bolt to secure the damping rod. You might want to make a sleeve.. The external plug on a DX is compression damping valve. You can simply plug the hole..
