-Can use KN watershield air filters
-Can buy as ITB only if you are converting from Webers. Uses same manifolds and linkage.

Triumph Triple
-Budget adaptation
-Limited injector selection
-linkage is usually terrible.

Jenvey
-work well
-IMO Linkage is not easy to setup. But works well once going.
-Look very much pieced together.
-Challenge finding good filters for stacks.

RHD
-Linkage works well.
-Easy to setup and balance.
-Look very much pieced together.
-Challenge finding good filters for stacks.

I have not tried AT or JSR but they both look very interesting to me.

On a street car you will not noticed the difference between most of the readily available ITB setups. The end result will be your ECU choice and more specifically the tuner that completes the installation, setup and tuning process. This is where you get excellent or mediocre results.

for a street car I would make sure you have good filtration. There are many examples of cars with open stacks. This is just asking for water or dirt ingress leading to damage. I am not a fan of the snap on "mesh filters". to me they rob too much power.
Jamie, I find it odd that you had trouble sorting filter options for Jenvey and RHD, as they offer them....

The Jenvey's do require a few extra minutes getting them dialed in, but then are very stable and repeatable. To date, they have been our "go to".

The PMO, not sure if you can even get them even after the EMPI aquisitsion, used all Weber compatible parts. The manifold was the biggest detractor...

Cheers
