So it does have 2 then?

I was ridiculed earlier in the thread for mentioning I liked mercury stix, so please understand my comparison to this device was just to find out if it would meet the needs of my shop or not.

I like the mercury because you can watch it bounce.
But that's just me.

I didn't detect any ridicule, but yeah, as was posted, the guy has been working on a 4-cylinder version for months. If you peruse that thread on ADV you'll find a lot of happy users.

Neat tool, but I'm not exactly an expert that can compare or contrast to mercury. You likely have a feel for it after all this time Bill.

Is this the part where Ben creates a new account and tells us all how much better it is to use vacuum gauges?

Cool

Another satisfied customer. Ordered on Fri, got shipment notice on Sat, delivered on Tue! Doesn't get much better than that! It's way easy to use and more importantly, results are REPEATABLE, something my CarbTune never was. If you work on your bike, this is a must have!

Looks cool, but the twinmax gets it done. I wish I could show you my first syn tool. Talk about crude. The mercury sticks I still have but never use.

I have had my Harmonizer for quite some time now. I got in on the pre sale.
I still have my mercury stix. The Harmonizer is much easier to use.
I seem to get air in my mercury stix and always have to pull a tube to correct that.

Cheers

Try this Tom:

Something with the single post nature of that other link was defeating the PayPal link...
