Maybe i'm not explaining myself well.... I want to know if its posible to mod a one diske wheel to make it dual disk. Its just that I like the front wheel that I put in there, but would love to have it on a dual front brake setup.

Why?

Simple.

Because he wants dual disk brakes.

Don`t answer a question with a question...

And no, a 4 piston caliper will not stop better than two disks and two calipers.

You are not going to tell us the make and model are you?

No, It cannot be done.

Just noticed you have the same thread running over in the Dyna section of this forum.

158 posts, about 155 of which are questions...

I mostly just go on the Dyna sectionso I don't know if this section gets visited a lot or no for someone to see my question... also the reason that I have so much questions is because I wish to learn more and about some stuff and find out how I can make something work from the experience of others.... sorry if this is a bad thing.
