The OCC forks are very narrow. You will have a hard time getting the clearance you need for the disc to clear the forks, and the caliper to clear the spokes. You will need a very large diameter disc. 203 mm is the largest I have seen and it still wouldn't work.

Can be done if you make a spacer/ adapter. The OCC fork is too narrow for it.
ChoppersUS.com has a $59, 30" fork with a disc brake caliper bracket built in.
This is a 160 mm rotor... A 180 mm would fit with more clearance from the spokes.
