According to physics gas pressure is the same everywhere in an enclosed chamber.
So unequal lengths of the tubes do not make a difference.

I don't know. And I don't need to know. As I have the widely touted Harmonizer. So I just take it out of the box, and hook it up, and balance.
I know there are quite a few who like to stick with the old ways, so they perhaps can and will answer.

I've been thinking about this same homemade manometer idea, although I don't have a good educational reason- I'm just cheap... I think I'm going to try to make one of these manometers using bottles rather than the single tube full of fluid version:

I like the idea that the liquid in the manometer can't get sucked up into the carbs in this version (plus it looks way cooler!).
I made mine from about 20' of plastic tubing from Lowe's mounted with zip ties to a cool yellow aluminum yardstick.
With center of the tubing at the bottom of the stick, the tubing runs up each side to the top of the stick and then to each throttle body.
Tubing is filled with ATF, which is red and looks good with the yellow yardstick(very important).
I hang it above the bike and there's about 7' of tubing to run to each TB.
With the ATF level at the halfway point on the stick, there's time to correct the setting or shut the engine off to prevent the atf from going over the top, if the tb's are too far off.
It's just a big U shape hung on a stick.
Total cost; about 12.00 bucks.
