If you remember I was thinking about selling my bike and getting something better for the freeway.

Nope not anymore. I used the knowledge from this forum to build my own synch tool out of plastic tubing and a yardstick. The bike feels twice as fast as it did before. The throttle response is excellent as well.

I took it on a quick ride on the freeway and it did awesome. No vibrations at all, the bike just purred along and handled 65 with ease. I could cruise all day.

I still think that I will lower the rear sprocket by 1 tooth but other than that the bike is perfect. Now it is just time for paint, polish, and suspension. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the help guys!

Good to hear.

I tried making a set of sync gauges with transmission fluid, but I could never get the bubbles out. I've got a buddy with the mercury sticks and I just borrow those. Of course I can pretty much do it by putting my hand over the tailpipes now.
