Throttle body sync pipes extension
« on: February 05, 2021, 11:26:20 »
Hi to all,
I have recently fitted extension tubes to my DL1000 and using the little magnetic door clips you can get for kitchen doors etc I drilled 2 holes in one so I could push the extension  tubes through and have a safe magnetic way of keeping them accessible. all I have to do now is take off my seat to do a throttle  body sync and I have done this to me friends bike also and wanted to say if anyone would like me to do this for them I would be happy to do it for free, I will also be happy to sync your throttle bodies at the same time.
Regards
Andy

Clever. Never lose the ends of the tubes again. But wait until you walk into the kitchen one dark morning and bang your head on a cabinet door that's sung open.

Thanks for sharing your tip on a nifty method of keeping the tubes together and easy accessible. How did you go about in blocking off the ends of each tube?

I just used some plastic car panel clips and I put 6mm clips at both ends of the tubes to make sure they are air tight.
I used a 4mm id pipes so they were a snug fit also and used good quality pipe
