Speedmaster front brakes

How much trouble, and what parts are involved with adding a second brake rotor/caliper to a BA like the Speedmaster has? I always liked and trusted front dual disks more than single. Any help?

You might get a better response if you post this in the Vertical Twin Cruiser Forum.

I suspect you'll need Speedmaster forks, front wheel, master cylinder,at least one more caliper and rotors. If you want to keep the spoked wheel that is where you'll need to be creative. TBS hub might work (Lots of luck finding one of those), for dimensions check my original photo album.

I think the Speedmaster uses small diameter rotors than the America, you'll need to check that.

Sounds expensive to me.

Probably less expensive to trade bikes and swap out the handlebars.
But if you really want to keep spoked wheels........
