You would need to replace the front rim, lower forks, front brake (11/16 master cylinder required for dual discs)...

I thought about doing the same but the costs involved were not worth it to me.

That would be great to have but not worth it in my opinion. Give enough room in front of you, drive a safe speed and 99% of the time the stock brake setup of is more than enough.

Or you could just upgrade to a six pot single. Personally, if you don't have some flashy rims to show off, I like the dual disk look.

Thanks for the input. Helps me rethink my setup, especially with new rims.

Why add all that unsprung weight to the front?
