A brake bias valve from my experience will limit the maximum pressure to =
the rear brakes and only designed to prevent rear wheel lock up under =
heavy braking. Up to the pressure point where the bias valve activates =
you will have uneven brake pressures front to rear unless all of the =
components in the system are sized correctly. Even with the addition of =
a rocker arm system and twin master cylinders sizing is still important =
as the rocker arm can only do so much.

Cheers
