RE: rear discs

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

Check the numbers on those 85 prop valves vs. the 16V ones.......I paid $50 
for my 16V ones used and the next day found a set in a junkyard.....I 
thought well shit man coulda save the 50 bucks but lo and behold, the part 
numbers are different

Different valves for disks and drums depending on size of M/C and booster
