Default Brembo caliper on FXD?

Some time ago I read on this forum about changing out the stock front disc brake caliper on my '07 Super Glide with a V-ROD Brembo caliper and changing to braided brake lines for improved performance. Does anybody know which V-ROD caliper fits (what year?) And does the conversion bolt on like I read it does? Does it help much?
Thanks for your input.

Check with JayRisk. He has done a dual disc conversion on his streetbob using the brembo calipers from an 08 touring bike.
He has a thread on it but Im not sure how to find it.
