As a pure guess, Jim- two extra rear calipers should work better in 
balancing the braking and its a simple bolt-on addition requiring no adapters etc. 
The stock front calipers are really quite good while the single tiny rear 
calipers are pathetically small, needing the front to be severely limited to 
come anywhere near being 'balanced'. You won't need the proportioning valve 
up there, though, and in any case it will be way-wrong for double rear 
calipers and is unadjustable. Good job- J DeRyke
