Are you meaning different from replacing the front forks and wheel then adding the needed brakes? :pop:

You might want to think about that skinny 21" front tyre with twin discs. If you want a better front brake why not look into a six pot caliper ?

Upgraded to the Brembo on an 04 FXDWG. I am very happy with the results.

Is it really an inexpensive way to do that?

 If your caliper and master cylinder are in good shape, then I'd go with a simple upgrade of parts.
A new 11.5" floating rotor, combined with new SBS brake pads will make stopping a lot easier.
Twin discs have been done, but its not cheap by any means, and I'm not certain its even wise on that skinny 21"er!!
Another upgrade would be stepping up to a PM or HHI caliper, both 6 piston. That may require a master cyl change, you would have to check with the mfg. fwiw  Buffalo

My bike came with dual disc and 21" wheel.  I run gold+ pads and use the front brake harder than 99% of Harley riders.  I do pay attention to front grip and use digression when trail braking into a corner.  The MH90 or 90/90-21 has more grip than most think...its more of a mental thing. 

I can understand why you want a dual set-up.   Rick
