This is a differential manometer meaning that it responds to the difference in vacuum between the 4 cylinders. If you had 2 connections with leaks, the other 2 of the cylinders would read very high and try to suck the fluid in. You cannot connect only 2 for the same reason. Mercury manometers are absolute manometers, meaning that they respond individually to each cylinder's absolute vacuum, so a leak in 1 will not make another read too high.

I am thinking of changing my 99 VFR over to the 929 or F4i shocks. Main advantage is compression damping adjustable? The F4i needs heavier springs and revalving but is closer in height, whereas the 929 is shorter but spring is correct weight. I also have an almost new CBR1100xx shock but that looks like the VFR shock, so not worth changing probably. I had a Works Perf shock on the 100xx when I had and it was great but I don't want to spend the $750 on the VFR. MikeG

I am jumping in late to this thread but am interested in the 929 swap. Is the main advantage of the 929 shock that it has both compression and rebound damping? I also have an almost new CBR1100XX shock, but that looks like the VFR shock-only rebound damping. I also looked at the F4i shocks but it sounds like they need new springs and valves even though they have a remote reservoir. Any advantage to those over the 929, other than the length being closer to the VFR?
