No it's not difficult to sync the carbs. The front carb has a capped off vacuum port that you can use. The rear is a bit harder because the vacuum port is used to open the fuel petcock. All I did was put a tee joint in the line and then cap it off after I was done.

Thanks Marchetti. That sounds like a good idea - you don't happen to have a picture do you?

Having sorted out my suspension I went for a short ride out towards Rhayader Dams and got totally shown up by a group of experienced riders- felt a fool! Gotta start somewhere.

Bibio might still have a tubing kit for sale, you just plug in the front one ( tricky with big hands) and use the t piece for the rear. Then its easy to sync the carbs any time.
