    You already have a gauge with 4 lines, so just get 4 cheap fish tank valves and you are set, do NOT hook them into a system valve that runs all the lines togather as you will just have the same reading on all 4 gauges, keep them seperate tighten them down one at a time till no movement, then back out till you see slight movement, that gauge you have will work fine on your bike, it is a nice gauge once you know how to adjust it. good luck and enjoy

      Valves

      These look perfect as long as you can get them shipped where you live

        Done As it is going to get.....

        Hi, All: Ok, I have not completed the bike as much as I am going to do. Thanks GLOWE for your help with the blinkers!!! Got that fixed, took it mostly apart, changed all the fluids, did the forks, and took it for a 20 mile ride yesterday. You can go to http://jimphoto.freeprohost.com/Yamaha78 and if you have already been there, the completed photos are yam78_050 thru yam78_057. I think it looks pretty good, and will now go on Craig's list and see if I can get some money to finish my '79!!!! Thanks for all your help, and advice, and I will still be hanging around for awhile yet. The '79 will be taking me most of a couple of years to get going. That one is at http://jimphoto.freeprohost.com/Yamaha and it is down to the frame. Going to do the engine next. Have a great day!!!
