An other issue to consider is the traction available at the tyre [tire] road surface interface. I suspect that you may already have more brakes than your tires can use, front and rear. You may want to calculate how much force the tire will take before it loses traction then design the brake system accordingly with what you have on hand. a "bigger" brake system than you need only reduces the force required to get max deceleration or lockup!

Some Brainstorming crazy Ideas

Modify the CBR twin disc front wheel by removing one of the discs and replace that disc with a sprocket adaptation.
Get other front wheel with same size single disc as CBR front wheel.
