You'll need the bottom fork leg to go with the caliper,I guess some how or other you could bodge them on with an adapter but you'd get no advantage out them at all,you'd do just as well with any kind of 6 pot or aftermarket caliper.

Rybes, I suspect that extra braking power on a steamer would end up with the front washing out as the forks as so soft.
