Title: New Member Help Required
Post by: Harper48 on Thursday, 04 January 2018, 01:48 AM
Hi

I'm desperately trying to find a replacement throttle body. I've tried eBay and local bike breakers but with no luck. I'd be grateful for any advice anyone could offer.

Since you're going to be restoring the bike, I'd be inclined to strip & clean up the originals.  Be cheaper & you'd know they're done right. 

If their condition is so bad (rusted / corroded) that resto isn't an option, throttle bodies do come up on E-Bay from time to time or someone may have an engine they're breaking.

if its just the injectors check this company in the uk
full service with replaced filters and seals for 4 injectors £57

for all your work during your refurb have a good look around the forum especially the how to's as there'll not be much someone hasn't done and can help you with.
for instance i have the special tools for stripping both models of forks (early and later one's) balancing gauges to sync your throttle bodies .
there are full workshop manuals to download here to

good luck

Strip and clean is probably the best option. The injectors are best dealt with the company that Seth mentioned above.

If replacement is what you want then see my post in your introduction post.
