Currently running a stock type disc/drum MC with 4 wheel discs, and would like to remove the RPV from the rear port on the MC. I understand how to get the check valve out, but assume I will destroy the brass flare seat in the process. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement brass flare seat? Thanks!

If you use a properly sized screw to pull the brass seat out, you should be able to reinsert it without too much trouble. I don't know of any aftermarket sources for the conical seats, however maybe someone else will.

Thanks Tobin. I've been running this MC for a couple of years with hydroboost on the advice of Paul @ Hydratech. I have noticed that the rear rotors don't shine up like the fronts, and it looks like they have pad material transferred to them. I'm assuming this is due to the RPV, and this is a relatively easy fix.
