Your not gonna do a permanent installation??? That may work on a car but on a V twin bike I think reversion would have a big effect on the reading unless you could extend the end of that thing way up into the pipe.

Going to find out. I need it for my flat head V8 hot rod I'm building any ways. So here goes.

At idle the V-Twin will cause a problem. Interested in seeing how it works at HiWay speed. If I need to I have the tools to build an extension.

When you get it figured out you are gonna love the way it works for ease of tuning.

Pretty sweet. Now the RS can be tuned properly...no guessing.

Pretty sweet. Waiting for mine. Has it taken the guessing out of tuning?

Not only takes the guessing out of tuning but if you like to play with the tuning you will see that there are a few different ways to get to the same numbers using completely different jetting configurations by using different needle settings and pilot jets along with larger and smaller main jet combinations, and you can ultimately get to the same readings. You will also be surprised at how what you thought was a tuned carb may not have been even close.
