There's overkill..

I have a bit of tubing with two restrictions (read smaller bit of tube) towards the middle where it's looped into a small coil. The balancing bit is a small bearing inside the tube.
Let the coiled bit dangle and the bearing sits the middle due to the magic of gravity.
Connect the ends to the intakes with adapters and off you go, just adjust till the bearing stays in the middle and all balanced.
Even done triples, V and in-line 4's with it.
Downside is the expense, probably under £5 as you tend to have to buy bearings in 10's. Oh and you do need some adapters.

Ha, my brother uses this on his bikes. I was just having a lazy moment and couldn't be bothered to hunt the parts down so I just bought a cheap set of dials.

Saw him using them on his FZ750 and they work a treat.
