Series V rear discs

Has any one run rear disc's (Tiger Dan's kit) using a dual master cylinder with no brake boost or proportion valve?

I suspect that you are referring to a tandem master cylinder rather than a dual master cylinder. ?????

No problems with breaking?
Why would there be? Alpines with no brake booster are very common, stop just fine requiring a bit more effort. Dan and the vast majority of his customers agree the kit has no need for a proportioning valve. Rear wheel lockup is not an issue. What would you expect to gain with the valve?

I'll tell you the same thing I told Dan when he did his initial installation. Do not install a proportioning valve (he wanted one), but when he hits the road, check it out for rear wheel lockup. If he detects any indication that it is or may be present, install the valve.

Been running a tandem master and 4 wheel disks for years with no proportioning valve,
rear disks were done with Dans kit. Working on "enhanced" calipers and one of Bills
brake pedals. Should be awesome brakes!
