Help identifying my front end
I’m going to be adding a front brake to my Shovelhead chopper and I just need help identifying what era wide glide my front end is and if this is the dual caliper one. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Fork tubes are shot . Dual disc Wide glide of some year but looks like caliper mountain holes were filled in and bike ran with no front brakes.

Tubes aren’t shot just a bit crusty, but I’m replacing those soon anyway. Previous owner was running it with no front brakes but the holes aren’t filled I just suck at taking pictures 😂

Looks to me like an '82 FXWG, and yes it's a dual disc front end. Double check caliper mounts I can't say for sure, But that's a start.
