Has anyone found a way to eliminate or replace the fake carbs on fuel injected bonnies? I have 2013 t100 and i always thought it was stupid to keep the carberated look on a fuel injected bike. Kinda like those fake "convertable" viynl tops on older luxury cars. I have a feeling it would be an expensive throttle body replacement.

It may be a look, but as far as I know they are still functional throttle bodies designed to look like carbs for that "retro" look.
See what can be removed from the throttle body.
You're certainly not alone there. I believe "Fakery" is the common term for the practice.
You could do an airbox delete kit on it and strip away the excess. The throttle body would be simpler with a cleaner air intake.

The "fake" carbs are the throttle bodies. . I suppose there might be a way to mount different style of throttle bodies but they would have to be compatible the the Bonnie's EFI system.
The revived Bonneville is supposed to look like the original Bonneville and so I personally would leave them as they are. Still, de gustibus non est disputandum
