I have a single side set up right now. Got the arlen ness 14" rotor and ebc hh pads, braided ss brake line, stock caliper. I have more than enough braking power, I imagine if someone put it on both sides would be even greater. I was thinking about upgrading to a 6 piston caliper before, but after riding as is, I don't think it's necessary.

Face it, your harley will never stop like your Duc. Bigger rotors would bring the biggest improvement to what ya got to work with.
