I fitted a vacuum gauge to my VT250C using a similar barb fitting.
I found the gauge needle bounced around too much to be read (because it's only picking up one cylinder I suppose).
Adding a flow controller (one way) to the line steadied the needle, but it probably messed with it's accuracy.
As far as usability goes, I found little difference between part throttle and WOT in normal riding, so it didn't really help.
Maybe the CBR's higher revs will help? With it's modified gearing, my VT (probably) seldom goes over 7500 rpm (no tacho).
