Re: rear valve stem
They are the same size but different angles. The front has a 45 degree bend to clear the brake discs, the rear 90 to clear the final drive. Some guys run straight valve stems on the front - I have no idea off the top of my head if there's enough room to do the same on the rear.

Re: rear valve stem
FWIW, I recommend installing the rear stem backwards, toward the brake rather than the final drive. Easier to reach when the bike is on the side stand.
