I'd save my money if I were you, seen those before and to be honest they are a bit "hit or miss", I know you said money was tight, but sometimes you've got to use the right tool for the job.

as suggested I'd try borrowing one (you might even get the owner to help you do it ;) ), get down to your local meet (adding you location to your profile helps too).

However if you have to buy then it's a long term investment, get a 4 pot version and it'll do any bike you ever have, well worth it as you can do it at every service (you can't "over sync" them).

Probably the best tool would be a Carbtune (actually the Cartune II) which retails at just over £50, nice bit of kit, floats in tubes.

But if you're into gauges then I'd recomend Davida ones,(normally reconisable buy the red mounting backplate and white faces).

the base model gauges are good enough though (blue backplate and black faces, about £35 or so)

I really wouldn't bother with anything else (like the suggested ebay item or something like a Gunsosns Lo gauge), although they might work to a degree and better than not doing it you won't get it perfectly balanced, it's more a rough guide thing.

Hope that helps

Cheers Mark.
