The info I got from this site that the Brembo Brake Calipers are better with more stopping power than the earlier 2000 style. I see 5hem on line but they don't specify if they are for a Dyna or a Bagger. Does anyone know if the Rear caliper that bolts to the mounting bracket are the same. I have the 2000 style brakes.
My other question is will Bagger or VRod Brembo Dual work on my FatBob front end? I have the 2000 style calipers on my Dyna 49mm FatBob front end. Most adds don't really specify. I only buy used parts from Harley dealerships that list used parts.

Not sure what listings you might be seeing. If you're looking to make these changes to a bagger you want take-offs from a bagger. There is a difference on the V-Rod front calipers.
On the fronts all you need is the caliper, its mounting bolts and a pair of rotors. There is a tab adjacent to where the brake line attaches you'll have to grind off of one of the Brembo calipers. Aside from that it's a bolt on retrofit.
On the rear you can use the take-offs from a touring bike also. You'll have to run a 1" drill bit through the axle hole on the mounting bracket then (maybe) hone it out another couple thousandths. You'll also need a new axle spacer for the right side. It's a spacer that HD nor the aftermarket never made as no one produced parts for this particular retrofit.
I made 20 of these spacers awhile back. Have five or six remaining if you want one. $20 shipped if you want one.

My 2000 FXR4 CVO has the 2000 style single peice rear caliper. The mounting bracket of the Brembo looks like it might work. I will buy it from a Harley shop at a good price. If it doesn't work I know a friend that would buy it. I will let you know. It will be probably 2 weeks from now. Thanks
