Does anyone fancey repacing my TB's?

Ive got some R6 Throttle bodies, and im unsure about how to repace them. I would feel much more comfortable with someone who knows what their about doing it. (fuel rail and all that)
If not, could you recomend someone who could?

How hard can it be?

what engine is it on and are the existing R6 ones respaced, what ECU are you running and what are you proposing to replace them with. swapping the throttle bodies is quite straight forward, harder part is if respaced is the potential for a new fuel rail and reprogramming ECU to reflect different flow rates of injectors ect. any pictures of your existing set up would help people to advise.

Respacing them is easy but the fuel rail is a bit harder.

Pull them to bits and mind you dont loose the springs on the levers.

You then want six bits of tube 19mm long and a meter of m6 Studding.

The three operating arms unbolt but keep an eye on how they come of.
People have bolted longer fingers on with small nuts and bolts.
I havnt finished mine but I am welding them on.

Options for the fuel rail are.

custom billit alloy rail.

Cut the stubs of the r6 rail and braze/ weld them on to fresh tube.

Cut the r6 rail and add sleeves to make it longer.
