Where do i get one from. I have an RD03 and as you know i will need a fitting to srew into the side of the engine to attatch the pipes to.

RD03 owners findings would be very good to know.

Thanks

Hi Holla.

I don't know about the RD03 but my RD07 has a vacumme pipe on one side and a rubber blanking cap on the other side on the inlet manifolds so your guage hoses should fit there just replace the cap and vac pipe when you have finnished, as for the guages, any good motorcycle accessories supplier should keep them in stock or M&P, Wemoto or Busters on the internet, Davida make a great set of guages but you will pay a bit more for them than other makes but I feel they are worth it, feel free to PM me if I can be of anymore help OK?

Thanks BIGROG, the RD03 has an alen key you must remove so you will then need a threaded tube to screw into that before you can fit your gauges to them. I just want someone to say where to get the adapters from or something else that will do the job.

Thanks

Normally the adaptors come with the guages

Knobby is quite right I forgot to say if you get the Davida guages, you get a set of adaptors that screw straight into the pluged holes, it's a pity you live so far away as I have a set here you could have used but just make sure that if you ever think you might get a 4cylinder bike in the future you get the 4 guage set and not the 2 guage.

The 4 guage set is not double the price of the 2 guage set so it's worth it, also with injection systems getting more the norm, you can still check the cylinder balance but you will need specialist equipment to do any sort of tuning OK?, carb systems are fine, good luck.

Keep an eye out on eBay, as I got a complete twin kit for £15.

It uses the mercury level thingys (like 2 thermometers side-by-side) , not guages, and is so easy to use you can do the job in minutes. The most PITA part is taking the tank off.
