Assuming you're talking about the front brakes, you might be at the point where you add a second caliper/rotor to the front wheel. Is that what you're looking for?
If it's the back brakes, there's kits that replace the caliper with either 2 or 4 piston versions. I guess the standard rear is a "1 piston" (one active piston squeezing against a non-moving side.)
I wonder if the cheapest would be put a Blast front caliper on the back of a tuber, don't know if the master cylinder would be compatible.

What we need is to find a compatible set of front and rear calipers that are common enough that rebuild kits will be readily available for the foreseeable future. I think that rules out Buell parts unfortunately. I've been looking around but haven't had any luck so far which is kind of annoying - it's not like brakes are terribly complex.

Brembo, fronts and rears; or Performance Machine, fronts and rears.

Sponsor page is always a good place to start. I know Twin has a rear kit that really looks good for less than half what I paid for my P.M. caliper/mount. Think its Brembo, but might be Nissin.
