Theres many to buy, Jenveys, AT power, KMS DTH(rare now mind) and bodging on some bike bodies..

You also need to think about managment etc..

AT power bodies are getting quite popular in the saxo / pug scene.

you would need management too, a good choice is the predator ecu.

have a search mate

And Jenvey's are very good

bike bodies are a cheaper way to go thats what im doing. im going for bodies off a suzuki gsxr 750 or 1000. the predator ecu might seem like a good way to go but for extra bit of cash you could buy an omex, emerald or dta which you could put into your next cars just with a remap and a different loom.

throttle bodies and bike carbs are completely different just to let you know, id steer clear of bike carbs very hard to get running right and are no where near as good as throttle bodies. i had some Kawasaki zzr600 carbs in the end i got rid of them and bought a rallye inlet instead

get yourself onto rallyeregister there is normally a few sets of bodies forsale each month

Can be if done correctly!

I know of a car that had GSXR 1000 bodies made up by Sandy Brown/Colin Satchel that produced 193bhp!

Doubt if he had chosen Jenveys it would of made that much difference!

think you might be getting a little mixed up mate. nearly all production bikes nowadays are running throttle bodies for the same reason we want to put then on our engines. more power and easier to set up.

bike carbs are good but you need a proper inlet manifold to run them with good power. People buy them cheap and then bodge an inlet with silicon hoses as they want a cheap solution. I've seen these make no more power than standard when done like this.
