Did you find one that worked? I am looking for one for my 90.

I did. I had to straighten the actuator rod though. I used Garrett PART NUMBER 4800009-6. I also had to enlarge the bracket holes, and the new actuator posts were a bit further apart than the vacuum operated one.

Photos?

It is already on the car. I will take photos and post. I had planned on taking photos, but got too engulfed with reassembly, and forgot, until too late...

But, I am glad to see that you, GSXR are still here.

Here are some quick shots I took. When I get more time, I will crawl under the car to get better pictures.

The air box area cleaned up nicely!
