    I think they will work just fine but I would calibrate them before I synced the carbs.Start the bike and hook up each gauge to the same carb one at a time.Adjust the gages so they all read exactly the same,then sync the carbs.

      And do that EVERY time before you sync the carbs

        Get It asap

        Hi G15, I use the same exact model and it works great. No mercury, works at any engine speed and easy to use, just hook up to each vacuum port. A little trick is to use a short 2 x 4 under the front of the gas tank after you lift it up a little and then there is easy access to the synch screws without taking off the tank. SOOO I highly recommend it as I have used it on numerous bikes with good accuracy. But if you really want to ride out to San DIego, you can use mine anytime,,,,,Mike in San DIego

            Same ol' Same ol'

            Looks like the exact same set up I own/use but at less than 1/4 the price.

            Note: I connected all the gauges together to one line with tees for calibration purposes. Two of the gauges read differently from the rest.

            Easy fix was to unscrew the plastic faceplate and use the adjusting screw built in to the dial face itself.

            3Phase whimpered about how difficult/glitchy it was to turn the nylon knobs on the individual flow restrictors. To his credit, he removed the nylon needle/screws and lubricated them for me. Now they're flawless. (What a great dude!...)
