Default installed ported and polished throttle body this weekend

well a bit back we took a stock throttle body and in the shop we ported and polished it, then coated it... we do hundreds of these for cars but figured we should try it out on the bike... (we now offer this as an exchange program and have one in stock ready to go)
got it installed this weekend with my buddy, when he came by... nice to have another set of hands while doing this... but bike goes into the dyno Fri so ill have results as well...ooh ya also upgraded to the 12* injectors





side by side of stock and ported one




look how much material was removed


installing it


Justin giving me a hand

Nice! Curious to see what the difference is. Wish you would have had done this separate form the pipe and dyno in between! lol

I love the color of your bike. I plan on bobbing out my Honda 750vt and I think I'm going black and that blue color.
What's that blue called? Thanks

i did not want to rip on it to much after i installed evertying before the dyno, one thing i will say is you can REALLY hear this thing sucking air now... sounds awesome! just around the block the throttle response is like a whole new bike! ill get you guys updated info when i get it back from the dyno and i can really take her out and bang on it a bit
