A better, bigger aftermarket caliper and floating rotor will be a whole LOT easier and overall cheaper "fix" thanadding another stock sized caliper and rotor.
A dual disk setup might look neat but to add oneyour going to have to get the caliper (right side version), rotor, brake lines, maybe a new master cylinder, a newright fork leg and you'll need a new wheel or find somebody who canlace a new wheel hub into your rim.
Going to a 6 piston caliper will get youthe same or better stopping power for little more than the cost of the caliper plus twohours of work and a bottle ofbrake fluid. Longer if you have a couple of friends help you within reach of afridge full ofcold ones.
