Bias valve on a classic.
On my 99-00 classic my bias valve has 2 in and 2 out.
I'm removing the abs and i'm making a new setup.
I was looking at adjustable bias valves and they seem to all be 1 in and 1 out, does this mean i can not run a cross over brake setup and can only run 2 rear and 2 front?
Either that or use the standard bias valve and then be able to run the cross over?
Thanks

Thought of removing the b/v completely?
I had mine done a couple of years back, car stops better, quicker and flatter now.

That is correct.
The bias, such as it is, is done by having 335mm discs with huge 4-pot calipers up front, and 300mm with only 2-poy calipers rear.

Hmm interesting.
Is your setup still a cross over?
Thanks

Fitting a adjustable bias valve is much better as it gives you much more control over the braking set up as a whole.

To get optimum braking from when out on track, yeah i think it may help, for the road not really no as the road surfaces change too much.
Thanks

Yes, track and rallying, I can see the need. On the road, not.
