synchronizing Keihen CR-S carbs

For those of us that Keihen CS-S carbs it has been a frustrating ordeal to find any info on syncing them up, but this is how its done. Really simple!

Took some pics during one of my "quick & dirty" jet swaps.
They may helpful to someone removing the airbox or the carbs for the first time. I should state that I am not a mechanic (or that experienced working on a motorcycle for that matter) and these pics are in no way a substitute for a shop manual.
