Bike throttle bodies Dims?
Im already looking at replacing my dhla 45's with bike throttle bodies but i was wondering if there are any sets of bike throttle bodies that
have close dims to the dhla's?
I see that quite a few of the sets that appear on e-gay are 2 pairs and Ive looked at the gsxr single bodies that would need re spacing but was just
wondering if there was anything close to the dhla's mounting dims.
I would like to keep my inlet manifold and fit the bike bodies to it.
I know im asking alot but can anybody help.
Tommy
Is it bad that im already planning upgrades as the car is not even on the road yet

I doubt its really practical to try and adapt the DCOE manifold to accept bike TB's - the attachment method is very very different. I'd
sell the manifold and carbs as a package myself and leave yourself a blank sheet for fitting the TB's with as little work as possible (having
just respaced a full set of GSXR carbs)

If you have the time the skill and the tools its not hard to fit the gixer Tb's to a dcoe manifold.
Ive made a start, see a few pics in my archive.

Flak Monkey has already done it if you take a peak at his pics.

i need to keep the manifold as it has water ways in it.
(edit) How much should i expect to pay for some gsxr 750's? and 1000's bodies?

To add if the Dhla are the same as the dcoe then some of the gixer Tb's will bolt direct to a dcoe manifold with the standard rubbers.
Do a search on here.

£20 if mis advertised on ebay  upto £200 If you can seperate them then they will fetch more money.
Also look at early zx12R If you want BIG bodies.

If your after BIG bodies TL1000 V twin have 2 55mm bodies tapering down to 46mm at the inlet. All separate and HUGE
I also have set of CBR1000RR bodies that are 43mm.

Sadly, I've no idea where the link is.
But I remember reading on a forum that Hyabusa TBs were the correct spacing for an XE.
HTH,
