Rear brake compensator delete

[fixedgear]

I have had a search but couldn't really find what I was looking for.

Can anyone advise on deleting the rear brake compensator and if a bias valve needs to be installed in it's place (futher upstream) or if the brake balance is ok with just hoses in place.

Any help gratefully received.

I can let you know in a couple of weeks although I have fitted a tilton bias valve. From. What I've heard deleting the compensator with nothing else gives too much rear bias..

If you delete the compensator it will just go to 50/50 or more rear bias than with the compensator as there's nothing regulating the bias from the M/C, you'd need a bias valve fitting for sure. It would just be like pulling the ABS fuse on the 182 which isn't ideal TBH as the rears lock up first.
