I kind of hesitate to mention this, somebody might hit me upside the head with a rotten apple, but if you intend to measure each cylinder, you will need 2 of the 1 inch bungs..that is if you have twin pipes.

Just a reminder that a person might want to order an additional bung at the same time, and do them both at the same time.

Yeah...I know its obvious..back to my morning coffee.


Yes you will need one in each pipe but honestly they will be very close to each other in any case if your carburated.

Good stuff Smokes. I appreciate you doing this.

This is what Garage Days are for. A group of us should meet and do all our bikes at one time.


So then, is this on the list for Celina...?

AFRs and Roadwings for EVERYONE!

I do look often. you have no idea on what the slightest hill, drafting, temp changes, 5mph faster or slower, ect does for your mix. Right now with the big temp swings in mich i twist my pms screw way in in the morning and back out in the afternoon to keep the mix right. Also i found the main jet has very little change on your cruise even on the highway. From 35mph to about 80 its mostly the needle doing the talking with the pilot and main just backing it up kinda speak

Anybody know of a cup mount that would work with this? I don't have a fairing but would be interested in mounting it either on the handle bars or maybe even the crash bar close to the engine...I would love to find one that matches my Pro One Tach

Yeeeoooowww, The cup is $75 and the bracket mount is another $60! That's almost as much as the AFR setup and it does nothing but look good... I'll have to come up with another option to make this work. Thanks

autometer makes a cup for a 2 1/6 gage that can be mounted to your handle bars or risers. i think it was made for a 3/4 or 1" roll cage. also i found the a/f gauge kit for 124.99 om ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Innovate-MTX-L-Digital-Wideband-WBO2-Air-Fuel-Ratio-AFR-Gauge-Kit-3844-/291094875717?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43c69b4e45&vxp=mtr
