21 Heritage dual disc conversion
I have seen stuff about converting older bikes to dual front disc brakes, but what about the ABS models? I would like to convert my 21 Heritage to duals. Has anyone done that? Is it a nightmare with the computer/master cylinder? I plan on changing the lower legs out anyway, so thought it is a good time to get them in dual
thanks much,
Allan

Lower legs won't be the big issue. The wheel hub only has provisions on one side for the disk. Most likely someone makes a dual disk hub you'll have to add that to the total costs.
You'll also need a different master cylinder to match the dual disks.
ABS shouldn't be an issue as it based off the wheel rotation speed as well as speed differential between front and rear wheels.

Not for 16" wheels. Maybe 18 or 19".

When I ordered it in 2020 I told them I had stock wheels, I do not know what the deal is now.

Ahhhh. Thanks.
WOW! The rotor is almost as big as the wheel! Does that make it challenging to clean the wheel? Looks nice though.
