Crotch Rocket Help
 
Anyone know any good place to buy a decent carb balancing tool. My carbs are off on my Katana and was thinking of doing it myself before the season starts.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas,

Thanks,

I used to have a set of mercury sticks purchased from, I believe, Dennis Kirk. They work, but you have to have a place to hang them up. They're open tubes with mercury and a scale that allows you to measure vacuum in (literally) inches of mercury.

I had a set of mercury sticks once, you have to be careful of breaking the tubes and having the mercury leak out. I didn't want to worry about that with my kids, so I ended up buying a set of vacuum gauges (I think from JC Whitney). They work well, all are mounted on a metal plate which you can hang from your handlebars. There are needle valves mounted in the tubing so you can dampen out the movement of the gauges.
