Bought 2 tees as they have 2 lines going in. installed a 19mm MC and a tee to replace the porportioning valve They are very well Balanced and stop much better than the stock brakes. total cost less than $100.00

Are these calipers opposing piston, or anvil type? What tee did you use, as I'm supposing they're metric. Did you try adjusting the proportioning valve, rather than removing it? Do you have any pictures of your installation....Lot's of questions, I know!

Thanks,
