I am always a fan of installng better brakes than Harley offers.  I put twin 6 piston PMs with 13 inch rotors on my 06 FHLTCU-SE and have converted my Buell to twin 4 piston Brembo brakes.  The first major problem you would have is replacing the front wheel.  Unlike the similar wheel made for the Fat Bob, your wheel has no way to bolt on another rotor.  Also, I don't think Harley makes the lower leg to bolt the second caliper on.  As another comment made earlier, the ABS set up may preclude any type of conversion.  I think brake pads are going to be your best choice unless you want to change just about everthing.  Years ago, the only way to put twin disc on softails was to use the legs off an touring model.  Good luck and let us know what you do and how it turns out.

Well , I will give a shot at changing the pads first & will proceed from there

I'm not sure what the fuss is here, these brakes work awesome the way they are. Have y'all riden with abs before? I've (unfortunately) had to test these out a couple of times and they worked fantastic.

well, it is not a fuss, we are just sharing our opinions about the brakes & yes I have been riding for the past 2 years on a double disk ABS brakes on a Vrod. That's what I call brakes. Just chatting with the fellows here cos am not familiar with the single disk. Some said it is better than other & they have seen worse , some said to change the pads & some said they r good. Do you have any problem in chatting about our opinions in OUR bikes ?
