   James, seen more people use the GSXR bodies over the R1 mate.. I am very tempted to go down the same route as you now... mmm. You spoke to sandy about turn around time?

   The GSXR1000 are the best for Sandys setting.
   
   They need to be K1-K4 models aswell if I remember right!

   As said before, gsxr1000's are what works best with sandys manifolds. And get the best results. Thinking of doing this on my 8v

   you want gsx750/1000 K1 or k2 and possibly k3.
   
   Sandy's Gsxr tb set up is awesome!! My Rallye is making 156bhp on his set up. (with cam) and an Omex and Atspeed Racing map.

    They look like the right ones. (dont blame me if i'm wrong.) Going by the title they are the right ones.
    Make sure you get the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) with them. These are a £130 new.

    750 and 1000 K1 and K2 are the same. maybe very very slight differences that dont really matter. I think the K3 could be the same too.

    Omex are fine however if you are doing it on the cheap and bike bodies then the predator will suit fine aswell.

    Hi everyone
    
    I used yamaha r6 carbs on my tu3jp

    for tu5jp4 they are very good too, but perhaps will need to be jetted for max performance
