Question Big Red Brake Question - What do you do with the rears?

For those of you who have fitted the big reds at the front, what do you do at the rear of the 951?

Do you leave the stock rears in place or move the larger piston stock fronts to the rear?

Do you leave the proportioning valve on the m/c as stock or do you remove it or do you provide more rear bias using the LR valve?

It would make sense to me to put the stock front brakes at the rear and remove the proportioning valve completely, but I am just guessing.

TIA Mike

Put in a 5/33 valve out of a 928, and then your rear stock brakes should be up to the task.

Change you bias valve to get a little more out of the rears. Then just change the pads to the grip you want and it should be fine unless you start racing.
