You don't have a brake equalizer, but you have a proportioning valve.

First, install pressure gauges to P Valve. Bleed the brake system. Raise master cylinder pressure for front wheel and increase rear wheel pressure gauges. Rear pressure increase should be less than front pressure. If pressure is not at specified level, replace the valve.
