Twin Discs on a Nightrain?

This is probably a very stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway as I can't find out myself:

I have genuine HD inverted forks on my FXSTBi (Black) but they only have the mounts for a single disc on the left and I would like to have a twin disc after this years upcoming winter mods so does anyone know:

a) If there's a right hand lower available with the caliper mounting?

b) If there is one available; where do I get it and how much can I expect to pay?

Cheers all

Easiest way to find out would be to email someone like Zanotti's HD or Adventure HD in the States.

I would bet you'd draw a blank look from most UK dealers...

Now why didn't I think of that?

I might be talking bo11ocks here as don't know much bout these new fangled Harleys.

If the mod is possible, you might also have to get a new handlebar brake reservoir etc - on older Harleys the part for twin disc models used to have larger piston etc to cope with the extra caliper demand.

Yep, this bit I understand and I will probably change the master cylinders for both the brake and clutch anyway (Style not performance) but right now I need to know about the lower right fork leg before I do anything else. I want to get a 21" 80 spoke twin disc front wheel on the front (All black) and I'm trying to work out my options at the moment. Thanks for the advice though

Re: Twin Discs on a Nightrain?

With that skinny front wheel twin disks may be asking for trouble with the fronty end locking up and skating away.. just a thought..
If you want more stop try braided hoses.. I can lock up the front end of my Street Bob (single disk) with braided hose fitted...
