Bollocks!
There goes a C-note for that kit and the light throttle springs.
And a small chunk of time for installation.
And a big chunk of time fiddling about with it.
[laugh]

Is the TPS from a specific KTM, or have they used the same TPS across the board?

dunno, ask chris.  i'm guessing it's from a 950, as he seems to be into them.

I've e-mailed Chris and he expects to have the bits in appropriate Ducati colors ([laugh]) available soon.
He said he'll have a Ducati-specific kit that has the TPS and the round wire accel pump rod too.

It's well past 2 C-notes now, as I'll have to go with the soft springs too.
It'll give me time to figure out (dream up, SWAG) what the advance/throttle% map should look like.

C-note is yank for $100.
Or am I missing something?

I misunderstood. $100-$200 ain't too bad at all.

I emailed him over the winter about the v-stacks he had designed for FCR equipped KTM's, and he said he was working on a kit for Duc 900's that would address the pods/turbulent air issue. He was looking for a donor bike to fit the kit but mine was/is in pieces and I'm not very close to NYC anyway. :( wonder how that's going.

Haven't got anything with carbs these days (except the Briggs&Stratton lawn mower ....) but there's nothing like a set of nice, non-CV carbs ...  [thumbsup] 
Monster 900-2002 (sold, alive and well in the UK), 749R / 1100 HYM combo for track days, wifes / my Monster Dark 800-2003 (not entirely "Dark" anymore and a personal favourite) , 50% of 900SSie -2000 track bike for rainy days-now with tuned ST2 motor and Microtec ECU. Also parked due to having been T-boned on track.

Keep in mind you can order the FCRs with the TPS on them.

Just order the TDM-850 carbs and have them swap the jets and spigots to the Ducati type.

Issak told me about this right before I bought my Ignitech and RIGHT after I bought my FCR's.  >:(

Same as the ducati setup with different spigots.
