FXD Dual Disc Brake Conversion
« on: February 22, 2015, 03:56:48 PM »

For my dual disc conversion I used Fat Bob fork legs in the stock mid glide triple clamps, XR1200 Nissin four piston calipers and master cylinder, and Harley 300mm floating rotors, so the conversion is all Harley-Davidson out of the parts or accessory catalogs. This conversion is not quite a bolt on as machining is required on the caliper mounting lugs to get everything to line up properly and custom length bolts to attach the calipers to the fork legs. The pad/rotor interface is perfect with the pad making contact with the rotor just below the chamfer at the edge the disc rotor, I was concerned about the pad fit as the XR1200 uses a 292MM rotor but this was not an issue.
Just as a side note the Harley-Brembo caliper will not work with the Fat Bob fork legs as the Brembo pads overhang the rotor and this is an unsafe condition.

Best Wishes: Mike
