Interesting, I haven't actually tested the quality of the rear brake on it's own. Are you saying you're not able to slow down or stop at all?

I've never replaced a whole brake system so interested to see how you would do it.

The only thing I need is an adjustable proportioning valve and a coupla banjo fittings. I'm thinking a 70/30 front/rear bias would give me better braking without having to worry about fishtailing if I lock the brakes up.

If I had to panic brake using the rear brake I would probably jump off the bike to avoid impact It should be a straight forward mod; The master cylinder is fitted with 2 brake lines. One brake line goes straight to the front caliper, the other goes into the proportioning valve with a third line connecting it to the rear caliper.
