Best tool for the cost to sync carbs?

Here's my choice, it's called the Harmonizer. Did the research and found this. It's electronic and works great.
It also functions as a rpm meter (off of the vacume pulse, so is extremely accurate).
It only syncs between two carbs, so I added the manifold to easily switch between the 3 you adjust.
As far as the cost, if you put the miles on your bike, you'll be ahead the second time you do the job.
The tools will cost you a little less than what a decent shop charges to do it.
So the first time is break-even. After that, it's just what you think your times worth.
You'll need a vacume sync guage, a RPM guage that is (at least) accurate to +/- 50rpm
and a right angle adjuster to reach the main pilots (unless you have teeny-weenie hands
that are very heat-resistant) and a "d" adapter for the pilot screws.
I've become a fan of Motion Pro tools for the bike specific tasks.
Their stuff is made from quality materials and machining.
You can find them here or do the usual searches for ebay/retail merchants.

Good luck, Ern

The manifold is from an aquarium store. The single, separate hose goes to the master carb. The three hoses off the manifold go to the other three carbs. Turning them on (on at a time), sync each of the three to the master and then go back and final tune them, once or twice. You need to do the fine-tune because adjusting one, WILL affect each of the others, so you repeat until there is no more change.

The guy that builds that Harmonizer is in the process of building one for 4 cylinder engines. I'll buy one as soon as it's available. He says in 2 or 3 months. I figure 4 or 5, but probably worth the wait.
