Brake Upgrade
Planning the Vicla build of my 05 Deluxe. Gonna do DNA Mammoth 21", but can I upgrade to dual front brakes with newer 07-13 HDs or aftermarkets? Will there need to have a different reservoir or setup?fork lowers will need an upgrade for sure...what else do I need to consider?

This doesn't offer suggestion for your build, but advice on that DNA. I'd look around and do some google searching before you drop the money. My DNA's were less than a year old and rusted to ****, and they turned down my 1 year warranty, threw all sorts of excuses at me. I take great pride and I'm extremely
OCD when it comes to my bike and how clean she's kept. The 18 year old OEM wheels are in better shape.

This winter is the install of a 21" solid billet wheel (that will start conversations LOL).

Woah, that's a great looking double disc fitment ! Here in France, I have put an Arlen Ness Big Brake conversion on my 2012 Slim and I have to say that it's already a great improvement for a lighter cost. Even though it's not as efficient as a double disc, it's a good solution too
