Individual Throttle Bodies

I have not given up on this project! Progress has been slow, but I will be focusing on this bike over the winter. I recently gave up on the Burgman 400 throttle body. I tried a Buell TB, but that won't work either. So I picked up the standard individual throttle body (ITB) for use in Megasquirt applications, a Suzuki GSX-R's ITBs.




Broke them down.  I will only use the outer two throttle bodies.  I just have to figure out the spacing and then shorten the bolts and shafts to get them to line up with the bike's intake.


The nice thing is the TB's intake side diameter is exactly the same as the original carbs.  So I can use the original intake boots and not have to fabricate new ones.

Here you can see the intake boot on the GSX-R TB:
