I bet you could get a whole system from Toyota on the cheap.

I'd say upwards of $2000. the intake alone retails for about $1000.
I wouldn't even bother.
I have seen those FAIL lately with staggeringly alarming regularity.
try 5 systems in a month. All brands new bikes.
The lag in the system sucks.
Also on a touring bike the whole wiring harness lays in a plastic trough under the tank and not through the frame like on a dyna.
save your money and build a big motor.

it sounds cool in theory but I don't like internally running things.
if something breaks or a wire shorts you're pretty screwed.
how would it work if you had z bars? how would you get a throttle cable around those corners?
I could have internally wired my fxd but chose not to.

When I ran my wires internally I used the black mesh expandable tubing so there would not be any issues with wires shorting out. At least not because of chaffing on the steel bars.

It looks indeed a bit complicated, so I’ll maybe go with a 1 cable throttle, my idea was to go with a fly-by-wire throttle and a internal “throttle like” clutch (yes it exists)
