I am getting a little confused here??? What carbs are you going to synch on a 1996 RT1100???
If you are going to synch the carbs on your R1100RT, I bet you will end up with a badly surging bike and I would suggest, you don't touch it and get it to a dealer.....

Thats not even an equitable comparison.
I agree! It was intended as humour and to make but not prove a point. Time moves on. New things come along. That sort of thing.
Not being your average lemming/consumer, I'm not about to throw away my Twin Max and run out and buy a Harmonizer that will not provide me with a smoother running engine.
I'm sure only a lemming would suggest you throw away your Twin Max. But that is not what I said. I never throw out tools even when I have a better one. Just ask my wife!
Accurate? Prove it! Accuracy? What accuracy do you need...its not like you are setting up x millibars at X RPM. You want both cylinders to be the same...thats all.
I agree! It's all about balance. It's funny you should say that though because the Harmonizer allows you to set up you TBs at x millibars at X RPM. And it displays them both very clearly on an easy to read quartz display.
If you really want precision, you'd get one measurement sensor with one hose and a Y splitter with a selector valve and switch left to right to left, etc.
Or two measurement sensors. One for each cylinder. Like a Twin Max or a Harmonizer. But what you do with that signal and how you display it does count for something IMO.
The Twin Max is easy to use and is compact enough to fit in my luggage when I head to Europe to tune my bike there.
Sorry, no advantage there. I've held and used a TwinMax and a Harmonizer. The latter is lighter and smaller. So not sure what your point is.
As for the needle bouncing, you want it to. That is how it works. You're not looking for any particular reading, just a centered position of a quickly swinging needle.
No, I don't want it to bounce. My personal preference (and this really is all just personal preference isn't it?) is a steady display that clearly shows where center (in balance) is and not a needle swinging back and forth with a knob to dampen this action.
I'd bet you if I used either to tune an engine, you could not tell the difference. Want to take me up on that bet; I need the money.
I was not making any claims about the end result. I am simply saying that in my opinion (worth what it costs you) the Harmonizer is a superior tuning instrument.
