Consider this:

A standard dual, boosted master with front discs and drum rears runs a proportioning valve to restrict the flow to the rear to prevent lockups. By boosting only the front circuit you get the same effect.

I don't think you need to boost both circuits - front only will be fine. If it's a major issue for you, you can run two remote boosters - they can basically go anywhere - but I think if you try it with one you'll be happy with it

Do try to get a decent sized remote booster.

A collegue, when fitting discs to early cruisers, rather than fit a proportioning valve to restrict the braking to the rears, fits a remote booster to the front circuit (essentially double boosting it) to increase pressure - gives brilliant brake response.
