The cost of aftermarket throttle bodies is way up there, the bottom of scale we have the CB Performance units which are about $250 each and the rest are easily 2X that about.....

so I swung by the motorcycle salvage yard in Fremont today and picked up these beauties (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

45mm at the butterfly....they taper down to 42.5mm at the bottom...

includes a nice TPS and injectors...I doubt the injectors flow enough, but who knows, I'll find out once I get the specs....

no idea of what bike they came off of yet.....price was $125

Hey Mike
The size of the injector hole/mounts, is this a standard automotive size, or will it be machined to fit ??
This should work, when you get the mounting figured out.
My vote is #1, the simpler the better, less things to go wrong...
later
