Default Bike Throttle Bodies

wondering anyone here use bike throttle bodies on a zetec st engine. Looking for a set with near 50mm outside diameter and that can be split to match plastic manifold

I think most newer bikes are using bigger bodies than they used to. I believe the post-07 cbr's use 49mm or summat.

Jenvey have a brilliant read about sizing. 45mm are more than enough for my 1.8blacktop. You just have to make sure they are correct length and taper
