They'll do, but the column ones are more accurate!

you can get a 2 cylinder set for £44 but to be honest i just went for the 4 cyclinder, at least then if/when you get another bike they will still work!

Look at this, you can make a u gauge but this seems pretty simple, must stress i have not done this but it seems to work imo.

this is the one you really want..

http://www.twinmax.co.uk/acatalog/twinmax.html

postage is a bit of a rip off but by all accounts they are the doggyz doodazz. they look soooo easy to use compared to the carbtune.

i have a carbtune pro 4 gauge and i'm selling to get one of the twinmax ones.

when you think about it the stealers charge about £60-90 for a balance so buying your own and doing it yourself will effectively be getting the gauge for free.

Makes a carbtune look like a overpriced toy. Carbtunes still hold their price 2nd hand & most people dont know about the electronic version. All i need to do is get mine tuned but its probably worth me not doing it until i get the bike back on the road next year but ive got a birthday coming up.
