I am thinking about adding a second front disc to my Heritage. I don't know why Softails don't come that way.. but I'm wondering if anyone has done this? Thanks.

 

Lots of work........ Just upgrade that crap stock brake to a 4 piston from PM or hawg Halter.....It will give you all the stopping power you need..

 

After spending 4 yrs in collecting all the parts to put duals on my 02 Heritage, I back out and asked myself, why.... Anyways, ending up selling everything at a swap meet for about half of what I paid. Still running the stock single and still works just fine after 85,000 miles. Only on my 3rd set of Lyndell pads.

 

Get a 6 piston PM. That is what I run with Lyndall pads and it works great. Every time I ride the wife's sporty with stock calipers I remember why I made the change! I can get you all you need for the swap too.

why spend all that cash when a vrod brembo caliper and front rotor will bolt right on and at half the cost..

 

I am wanting to upgrade my brakes as well. Found this thread to be very helpful with regards to swapping parts from other bikes.

I too thought of duals but instead went with a better single caliper, pads, and rotor.

 

Are you certain of this ?
I have the Haybusa Jap calibers with an Adapter from "Fab Kevin", it works a lot better than stock.. but I can always improve.

 

Ya, from what I have read it won't bolt right on but they weren't using the rotor from the vrod as well... are you certain of this? If so... how?

 

Softails don't come this way stock because dual disc brakes are UGLY! I had a FatBob, and always thought that was the worst aesthetic feature of the bike. Wheels are meant to be seen, not hidden away behind a bunch of disc brakes.

Now that I've got that out of the way. Do as the others have suggested. I don't know about swapping out parts for V-Rod or crotchrocket ones. I'm not satisfied with how well the swap would go. If you are very concerned, go with a guarantee and do the upgrade with Performance Machine.
