Well... I have been considering my options.
Either get two bikes... or mod one.
I was thinking a 250 turbo (if done properly...) would be the shiznickle or whatever that word is. I love the handling and can't get enough, bigger bikes don't do it for me in that department. A one off as such. I would buy a second motor to work on while I rode the bike around.

I know carbs and turbos are a prick but if anyone could offer advice and tips that would be great. I'd probably have to get forged internals or something like that I guess (HOW AND WHERE?! also is heat treating a similar thing?). General things like that would help if you can tell me what I need to look for. I'm trying to work out the costs included. Don't just say get a big bike and don't waste your money etc as I'm prepared to spend money for a turbo 250 instead of a big bike. And I don't want to consider NOS for now... easier way out.
Sleeper sounds fucking cool, not to mention just having a turbo bike. And no I don't expect to get enough HP to pass a 600etc in a line but that's what corners are for eh Just a power boost with minimal weight gain... cool idea I guess and something to do over winter.Originally Posted by smoakin busa - sportsbikes.ws
Waiting to hear from you mr DEATH_INC especially. Infact I'll offer payment for work/help in regards to this if I decide to try this out, goes out to anyone. I have heard figures of 10k from people asking similar questions elsewhere, but i'm trying to do this for less.
I don't have welding gear or too much mechanical expertise so I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to this.
THings to consider: engine limitations... carbs.. DRIVETRAIN (mabey swappa 400 one...?) Oil should be fine just need to get a line off the bikes normal coolant system. I'll need pipes fabbed exhaust > turbo etc too.
Comments.. suggestions?
