I've got a John Eales Cross over manifold with eight throttle bodies which I will be fitting soon

excellent, I imagine it will sound epic _ John gave me a quick demo, many years ago of a semi finished system - car on ramp with no tank....so dropped a pipe into a bucket of fuel! - And hoped the timing wasnt so far out that the exhausts spit flames over the bucket

Yet to find the spare cash to do job - also Met Mr Jenvey who was equally pleasant and enthusiastic

I am yet to see one in person, but I would imagine it would sound epic. I miss the induction roar you used to get from carburetors so I am hoping this is the solution.

Not a Griff, but had a Chimaera with these about 7 years ago

That certainly looks interesting. Are they bike carbs?

What did that setup sound like and what was it like to drive compared to the plenum?

They look great but thats confused me....The Suzuki gs1000 doesn't have throttle bodies....it has Mikuni Carbs ??

[Markh]

Think you are right, my bike knowledge is bad, definitely Suzuki 1000 and definitely throttle bodies not carbs

[GasMunkey]

I'm sure you told me a while back they were gsr600 throttle bodies

[Markh]

now you have got me thinking!, could be we tried so many different options at the time, the I gave up with the project in the end and went back to a plenum (with larger single throttle body) which worked so much better, more drivable,more power, but fuel consumption (struggled to get over 10/12 mpg with the multi tb's) sold the TB's to a guy with a V8 MGB in the end
