I recently bid on but lost, a Raptor 700 EFI throttle body and harness, that would be a good one, especially with the 660 bottom, it has a few more sensor the efi uses. A person can sometimes get the whole system for $350-$400, maybe next year once I have all my projects settled in and get bored again
That secondary jet adaptor would be a good idea, but if these 350 or 225 jets do indeed fit it will provide many of the options one would need then. I wonder if the adjustable needles or the entire secondary slide would fit from there, if it has an adjustable needle.
I also bought a set of four Mikuni's from a Kawi street bike that are 32mm (IIRC), I got them for $45, will need to fab some throttle connections and mounts though. The Raptor carbs fit right on except the snout is another 4mm bigger dia. so the boots need to be ground bigger id or the carbs need to be machined smaller od. That's one of my biggest holdups, I've been trying to find another model/brand that has boots to fit the carbs and can be easily modded or bolt right up to the head. I hate to cut up $80 boots.

Ah bummer on the new XT660 carbs. I know of the troubles installing a single carb. I didn't realize the XT660s had a single carb.
Well the 350 has the other style of secondary jet like the 1990 & up XT600e carbs. So only the primary main jets can swap over to the older XT600s but not the secondary main jets. Maybe there is some other stuff that fits too. I am not sure.
The Raptor EFI sounds sweet. I saw it was a single throttle body though. To bad it can't be a dual body setup.
If the Ninja 250 carbs fit how about a Ninja 250 EFI conversion? Here is one Kawasaki Ninja 250r Fuel Injection Conversion Kit - Small Engine EFI Conversion kit | fuel injection kits I am not sure if this is the right kit that matches the carbs that fit the XT. What year of Ninja 250 carbs work for the XT carb conversion?
