What TBs were you planning to use? There aren't a lot of small multi-cyls around using EFI. Several scooters and 125 singles, but from what I've seen it jumps to the 600s before you see 4-cyl motors. The '03-05 R6 TB rack (also the '06+ R6S) lends itself nicely to separating and space adjustment.

03-06 r6 throttles r having cv chamber therefore r looking like carbies and r pretty big another question is how to make cv chambers (with secondary butterflies er?) to work properly under boost or better of removin' em at all?

just measured ФФ on my motor: 63 - 102 - 63mm; ID - 34mm ( bored of 32mm) thus as most bikes tbs r spaced from 75mm all i can hope is some scooters tb

450mm wide - its a long stroker! and the heads gas channels run a tad awry thats why 63-102-63. i guess i'll have to make the tbs from scratch well im getting used to doing so
