Is there a common way to improve the front braking on an 04 Night Train?

 

get pads from these guys... either the z pad or the gold.

Sure, better performing aftermarket calipers, rotors and brake pads. When you say “common way” do you mean less costly? If so, many members have just replaced the stock pads with Lyndalls Z-pads and feel that it has greatly improved their brakes performance.
Z-pads will also prevent the brake dust that accumulates on the wheels when using the stock sintered iron pads. Look up a member with the screen name FastHarley who is doing business as Motorcycle Metal and is a forum sponsor. I am sure that he can put Z-pads on you at a reasonable price.

Go around all day squeezing a tennis ball in your right hand.

 

Or ride slower.

 

I have seen dual front disc on a glide. Talked to the man that installed itsaid it made all the deference in the world.
