Makes you think you could get away with swapping two of those 38mm Super Sport 600 throttle bodies for your two EX-250 carbs, but you can't. It would be an air-flow disaster.
Every one of those Super Sport 600s have an ECU-controlled secondary butterfly system. This is the reason the design engineers can put 38mm throttle bodies on 150cc cylinders. The ECU-controlled secondary throttle bodies guarantee good low engine speed (off-idle) performance so the engineers can use a relatively gigantic (38mm on a 150cc cylinder) throttle body that makes really big horsepower at high RPM.
There is no secondary butterfly control available in MegaSquirt I, MegaSquirt II, Microsquirt, or MegaSquirt III.
Even non-Super Sport bikes are being equipped with ECU-controlled secondary butterflies. Two examples of "Sport" level bikes with secondary butterfly systems are the European EX-250 fuel injected version and the Ninja 650R. These bikes don't really need them but I think that the motorcycle engine design engineers are "spoiled" by having ECU-controlled secondary butterflies as a tool to fine-tune the bike's performance (especially idle and off-idle).
The European EX-250 fuel injected model uses 28mm throttle bodies. I used one of these Euro EX-250 throttle bodies in my 2005 EX-250 FI conversion. I removed the secondary butterfly system and they work great, but that's because they're sized correctly (28mm for a 125cc cylinder).

Maybe a single supersport TB? It looks like the area of a 28mm TB in the throat would be .953 sqIn. So if you made a manifold to connect 1 40mm TB to it it would be able to equally feed the two cylinders with it's 1.945 sqIn of area at the throat.
Would sure be easier to manage 1 single TB, may even get better MPG that way too.
