Using 8th gen throttle bodies on 5th gen?

Hello All, 

 

I've stumbled over a very low mileage 8th gen parts bike right when I’m rebuilding my 5th gen.

 

Got me thinking what new stuff I can transfer off the later bike to my poor old 5th gen. 

 

I know someone has transplanted 6th gen throttlebodies onto a 5th gen (although the thread doesn’t specify any benefits in doing so). So is the 8th gen compatible? Are there any different sensors or mounting issues? The injectors alone would be a great upgrade (12 holes vs single hole on 5th gen = mpg gains and better atomisation). 

 

Also, most 5th gen parts are now well used whereas 6th and 8th gen parts are fresher. Rubber parts are the worst-hit. Prices tend to be the same. 

 

Are the rubber intake boots interchangeable between generations? 

 

I’m even tempted to have the 8th gen airbox to play with. 

 

Don’t want to spend money and find nothing fits. 

 

Thanks in advance for for your help.
