Very cool - I'd have kept it naked

Weird thing is it sounds very similar to IL4.

Amazing bit of engineering - is that radiator split? Looks real close to the front tyre.

Oil coolers I'm thinking as the CBX was only air cooled (later ones had a small oil cooler I think). The heads look fairly stockish so I'm presuming oil.

I remember when a small oil cooler on your bike was shit hot.

I feel old now........

Quite impressive, especially given that it says in the comments he is the only person to have built it! Also says his next project i gonna be a trike with V12 Lambo engine! Where he gets his inspiration, let alone his time is beyond me!!!

He he - I found a company in the US doing turbo kits for my Hornet 900!
Mind you it's a cool US$2500.

Meh - It's got enough power for an oldie like me anyway.....
