     well my m8 is wanting to put twin front factory brakes on his 05 heritage. would prefer the Brembo's.

    anyone know what right fork leg  or what pair of fork legs he could use? He wants to keep bike as stock as possible. he needs the brakes as he is a very fast rider always has been. 

    thanks for any info

    As Choppa says , Roadking / Streetglide etc etc

    Buy the stuff "new bike take-off" from someone who has fitted chrome lowers etc

    I see them on eBay all the time , both Aussie and US

    For "factory Brembos" 2008 and up would be the go

    Remember you'll also need a twin disc hub/wheel , probably from a tourer as well

    ( unless the original wheel has the drilled and tapped disc bolt holes already but I doubt that !)

    and check if the current master cylinder will push enough fluid for twin callipers

    I've done a double disc conversion on a deuce -used v-rod brembo stuff (same as road king -except minor difference on hose position pin)-master cylinder is 5/8
    On nissan calipers -standard caliper i think twin disc is 11/16 -has been for a long time-the bolt mount for caliper is the same for either caliper -2000 up.
    The older style master cylinder had size cast in side near grip -single 9/16-twin 11/16-but brembo i don't think has.
    hope that helps

     thanks for that info wayco, i knew master would need different bore size, was thinking v-rod looked about same. he said there are threaded holes for right disc on fat boy wheels he is useing ( we live near beach so spokes rust) anyone see's what he needs for sale can they give me a link or address thanks again.

    You'll need both legs from a dresser as they are a different profile to FLST.

     thanks for that Dutchm do you know if stock heritage gard will mount up to the road king lowers? As prefer to keep looking as stock as possible not like a mongrel.
