I know you were syncing in Spearfish but you also know da prez bought one of you fine machines.
He synced my carbs before the Middle East Conflicts Wall Ride in and let me tell ya'll something-I THOUGHT-wrongly it turns out-that my Valkyrie was running "fine". While my Valkyrie would run it DID NOT RUN! When you have all 6 of the air/fuel mixture adjusters on the same page what a cursed fine difference it makes to have them operating together.  coolsmiley My roll ons from start out to 70-75 M P H are now not ONLY smoother they are quicker. When rolling at speed and you want to pass I'm not twisting near as hard on the throttle like I used to do. NO M P G returns YET but I'll be looking at that too. All I can say Bon is-thanks to that fine electronic gadget you came up with I feel as an ambient air breather my I/S is where it should be now and no longer where it was. A VERY noticeable improvement in engine response. Oh and B T W-when you do land on the loud grip from a dead stop it now spins my taxi tire MUCH easier!  cooldude Again Bon-thanks for a much needed piece of engineering on your part and a better running M/C on my part!  Wink RIDE SAFE.

Thanks so much that's great to hear. I had a lot of fun in Spearfish meeting so many VRCC'ers and synching bikes. I was surprised that in some cases it was a matter of several eight's of a turn for each carburetor to get things right and yet others required something like three full turns chasing the imbalance around the carburetor linkage. Our bikes are so smooth that they can lull you into thinking that everything is okay and just like a worn out tie-rod it happens so slowly that we often don't pick up on it until it's way out of whack. I find that MPG is directly related to the spasms in my right hand!!   Grin

Bon, I use gauges for my 1200 engine but seriously considering replacing my Twin Max with your setup. Sort of a Father's Day gift to myself. Let you know soon. Come to think of it, we have an anniversary July 5, if I can just figure out how to drop a major hint...... Grin

Of course, that means I'd have to spend at least as much on my wife. Wonder how she'd like a new vacuum cleaner......probably not a good idea.   Wink

My wife would call them "hobby dollars" and I had to match them 1:1 with her. We both won on that deal, really.

  I did mine last week and my experience is the same as old2soon.  Thought it was good but there is a big improvement.   Sure beats four vacuum gauges.  Thanks  Smiley

The POTENTIAL is there. The Digisync not only UNLOCKS that potential-it kicks the cursed door down!  cooldude Tween the new U-joint the new rear wheel bearings the fork rebuild and unlocking ALL the potential in that flat 6 engine-I'm on a totally different and more exciting M/C.  cooldude And yuppers-I admit this is a SHAMELESS plug for one of our sponsors.  coolsmiley RIDE SAFE.
