[QUOTE="Bobv07662, post: 124451, member: 4641"] Ed, I've synced the carbs using both methods, manually with the drill rods and then while it is running with a Uni-Syn flow gauge. The balance is spot on and the bike does run quite well. Bill, the bike does have the standard 2 into 1 splitter on the throttle cable. The cable routing is as smooth as I can make it. I purchased some snap-on plastic guides for the cables where they enter the top of the carbs but those seemed to require excessive force to get them to click on, so I did not install them. As far as expecting too much, the way the bike runs now I'm happy with it and even rode it on the highway up to 70MPH this morning. It has lots of power, pulls smoothly and rides great. The brakes are much better than some of the other antiques I have. Happy days! Next project will be to see if i can get a little more modulation into the clutch application but that's will be the subject for another day and another thread.
