Cheap - there's loads around in scrapyards from superbikes crashed by middle aged men seeking the thrills of youth 
You need a manifold constructed to fit the TB's to a lump such as X14/16XE. Speak to jr - he's got something up his sleeve along these lines I think...

think gsxr 1000 TB's are too big for a 1.4, think they are 48mm.
You'll be looking for 45's or 42's if you can.
then you need to make up some DCOE flaneges so you can connect them to a TB/carb manifold, as they normal mount on to rubber hoses with some jubilee clips.
then sort otu management, an airfilter and massive turmpets to get the induction as long as possible.

where would you plumb in the map sensor?
The ecu from factory is meant to have a signal cuase by all for pistons drawign vacum, so will be poor if you run it off one cyl.
And if you really need an unichip to map a mantzel correctly how would bike TB's be any better?

matzel still has connections etc for the ecu to monitor airflow etc. throttle bodies wouldnt. you would need a fully mappable ECU, or dastek unichip minimum. running them on standard ecu would throw up loads of faults/cause bad running etc.
would it not be cheaper to buy a kit from SBD?
