Adjustable proportioning valves are available from any of the automotive speed merchants; Jegs, Summit, etc. Re-plumbing the brake lines and hiding one on the bike shouldn't be too difficult. The problem you are likely to have though is that the stock rear master cylinder won't have the volume to handle two calipers. Maybe you can find a much larger one.

l was just thinking about that today, don't know if l can find a larger volume master made for a bike, maybe a small car master cilinder hidden under the pipes+ an adustable prop. valve? what do you think?

The bad part of having that is if you are on a wet road and need to stop, you might have to use the rear brake to slow down. This could be a problem.

Don't ask me anything about working on brakes unless you have a death wish......

I use a wilwood proportional valve on my chopper, works great, I run it about 60 40 no problems, and I use a standard master cylinder
