Vacuum Gauges

#1 PostAuthor: Jim Goose » Thu Jul 19, 2012 12:57 pm

Hi Guys.
Any one recommend a good set of gauges?
Are the Mercury ones better?
What kind of prices should I expect to pay, and where to buy?
Thanks Lads

Guyz,

ALWAYS remember NEVER to run bike on choke, whilst connected.

It will over vacuum and wreck the guages.
