finished Throttlebodies.

  As you will see from the photograph below the throttlebodies for the spare engine are now finished.  If you look at them in fine detail you may wonder why some of the bolts are protruding out,   I always leave bolts a little longer than necessary on my Bonneville bike because if you had a bit of bad luck and the bolt was to become loose, it may just give you time to spot the fault and rectify it before the bolt fell out completely.   

  On the RC injectors where the fuel pipe fits I had to do a little modification to the end of the injector to allow the fuel pipe to go further on for a more secure fit.  Also, the original Kawasaki retainers had to be cut down by one millimeter for the best fit possible.  
I had to devise a method of cutting down the air-intake rubbers from the air box to the throttlebodies and I came up with this idea of sliding the rubber hose over a plastic tube then inserting a steel bar into the plastic tube, then clamping the plastic tube into the lathe, the steel bar preventing the plastic from crushing  and with the lathe spinning, applying a Stanley knife onto the rubber gave a lovely straight cut pipe.
