    its just to expensive pal on there.
    i was going to go with r1 carbs could have had a full set up for £200 but turned it down, they have to be cleaned and rebalanced every couple of months so i just thought the money i would do that i might aswell get throttle bodies.

    just been talking to my mate and he advised a coil pack.

    you can still run aftermarket management with a dizzy.

    dare I ask why the hell you think the R1 Carbs need a tune every 6 months?

    Thats a load of pish... Who told you that?!? How many bikes do you see going in to be tuned every couple of months?!?

    I ment look on SBD to see what management they run with they're kits to get an idea...

    manifold is easy mate. you can cut down the original manifold, use rubber joiners and get the carbs respaced. Will be cheaper than buying a new manifold and look better with the straight runners.

    PM SLICKCORSA on MIG and look at his project thread. His name is David and has done this to his and could probabaly even arrange all the work for you.

    Ref the DISPAC, don't use the std XE one - its pap! You can buy ones from the likes of SBD that will be more reliable.

    Ref management. There's plenty of ECUs that can do the job but you don't choose the ECU you choose the mapper. Find out who's local to you and what they use. They should also be able to sort out the DISPAC (or coilpack as its more commonly known) for you.

    eg. Dave Walker who designed Emerald ECUs is about 45mins up the road from me, so I'd use him!
