Your right about that, I didnt tap the fitting all the way down. Left a couple threads so it wouldnt seat so deep, but turned out deep than I thought. Obviously putting a washer on it wont help being a npt tap. I could pull them out and use grinder to cut a channel in the side.

you can wrap some Teflon tape for sealing threads, go a couple times around the fitting and when u re install fittings they will go in and start to tighten up sooner. that is what I did and than stopped when fitting where flush with the bottom of plate openings.

 

Holes that will have to be filled
After I remove the hoses how do you guys suggest I fill these holes

 

UPDATE !!!
well I have put just over 1500 miles on bike. no oil in the throttle body; have not seen any come out filter yet. and running oil level at full mark. yes the modification makes a difference. I am happy.

 

Nice man! Glad to hear your runnin top notch. Noting like fresh clean air into your $$$$$invested$$$$ build.
