CB350 Dual Disc For Dummys?

I have searched here and many other places for a how to guide to putting a dual disc setup on a cb350, but I have had no luck. I know this is probably a fairly common upgrade for these bikes but I have no idea exactly what the process is or what parts are required. Most of the posts I have read say you can use cb550 triple trees/forks? but since they didn't come with dual discs I still don't understand how they work.

Can anyone lay it out for me? Go ahead and assume I'm a dumbass (I'm sure you will anyway). Or point me to a post where my question has already been answered.

Thanks!

Conversely, you could rebuild your caliper, use new brake line, and grab a new master, like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K47-...rcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item484210c4cb
and have enough stopping power to lose traction.
Just because it's a single pot doesn't mean it can't stop enough to overpower your tiny forks.

My single pot, single disc front on my GS550 will cause wheel skip and, finally, front wheel 'drifting' any time I want on very good rubber. I know the honda discs aren't quite as powerful, but pretty sure I could do the same nearly as easily on any of em.
