Turbos for bikes?

[98tls]

True words ... A $5000 dollar bike with $5000 spent on it ... is more often than not, still worth $5000 ...

Hobbies turn into obsession's ... then they get expensive...

The result of money spent is only truely answered by the spender of said money,success or failure depends once again on the experiance of spender of said money.If indeed fuck all is acheived bar endless nights with grazed knuckles and sweat from pushing the result home but upon arriving embarking on more of the same surrounded by mates with equal devotion and a token 6 pack donated by all involved then for my money its not expensive at all,fwiw fuck the Turbo,more fun to be had with a V-TWIN and the supercharger off an early MR2.On that point for my money the interesting bikes i come across at rallys are bikes that have been modified/dicked about with whatever you want to call it,i dont really see/sea the rest,theres only so much to be learned by writing a cheque.

Yer right, it can be cheap....I turbo'd a CM400 for my mate over a weekend, got the turbo for sweet f/a (off a twin turbo legacy) and made everything else. Runs a bit funny cos the carb (draw through) is a fair way from the engine (gonna fix that by repositioning the turbo etc) but it works.

theres a wee bit more to it than that - to get it running properly the turbine needs to be matched to the exhaust flow and the compressor needs to be matched to the air flow requirements (and thats just to start).
It might run, but it won't run well

Dunno about the BOV, but Harley is the only bike you can get a turbo for, and not void your warantee. Screaming Eagle sell bolt on turbo's, and super chargers for them.

Start over thinking it man. It gets real expensive if you try and get everything perfect.

Anyone thinking about putting a turbo on anything should just ask someone who's done it. It doesn't need to be rocket science, to get reliable extra power.
