Question:

New motorcycle. How would I change the brakes from single disk to dual disk and drum to disk?

Bike is an m50 and I like the feel of the disk brakes more. Would rather have two disk up front than one.

Answer:

Sell your bike and buy one that has the brakes you want!
Sell your bike and buy one with the brake setup that you want. Unless that model was also sold with dual disk front and single disk rear so you can buy a wrecked bike and swap parts, you are going to have to fabricate a lot of parts and it's just not worth the money or the effort.

You could put the second rotor up front if you can find the matching mirror-image fork leg to attach it to. Someone may actually make that. If so, probably require a larger master cylinder and dual brake lines, then the additional caliper, etc. Replacing the drum with a disk probably ain't gonna happen.
