Throttle bodies and injectors

MartinClan 10 Jun 2011, 8:48am
I am looking for two small individual throttle bodies for a project I have in mind. They need to be pretty small - say about 30mm choke. (Engine is only 600cc)

There seem to be plenty of bike ones on ebay - does anyone have any experience of using these, or can suggest a particular one. I know you can buy purpose made throttle bodies (Jenvey etc.) but these are way to expensive for what I have in mind.

I saw some BMW ones on ebay that would fit the bill except that the throttle is far too big. Something like this but with a smaller choke size would be idea. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOOK-BMW-R1150GS-R1150-R-1150-GS-1999-THROTTLE-BODIES-/190542316330?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item2c5d35032a

Any suggestions greatfully received!

Cheers

I used a set of GSXR 600 (2001 model year as the TBs are indivdual units) on a 1700Xflow, and later moved them to a 2l Zetec. Worked great.
