Right, so it looks like there is no rear brake bias valve present on my 2002 VTR's axle.

Looks like there is just a solid manifold block where the two lines come from the front then from the block to the calipers.

Am I right in thinking that all VTR's should have a brake bias valve?
I am curious now as I'd like to adjust the bias even more so now it appears I can't actually do it.
Thanks

It's just a solid block, there's no threaded holes to mount anything to it, so nothing has been taken off it in a previous life, it appears to be the original axle as well.
I can't work it out, it's pointless, as it has 2 inlets and 2 outlet ports, with no other visible use?

Your VTS have the same looking block on it saxokid100?
