Does anyone know about setting up the dual front brake on a 99 Cyclone? I was considering changing out the forks but maybe that is not necessary? Any information at this point will be of great help

AFAIK, the piece that lets you put another Buell 6 pot caliper on the other fork leg is unobtainium. I would imagine one could be machined.

But the only ones I've seen are for upside-down (inverted) forks...

Why do you want to do such a thing? If that brake isn't standing you on your nose, the pads are contaminated, the disk has oil on it, or both.

If you just want a regular dual-disc setup (not the usual diameter of a single-rotor) there are at least two sponsors in that section that sell a bolt-on kit. There may be other places from which one could obtain it. Runs about $1,600 -ish. Looks like a conventional ducati dual-disc setup, its Brembo as I recall. Of course, then the discs could be swapped out for ceramic, so it could be pretty cool.
