Nice, try to get some Vid of it, it's gotta sound good with the Vtwin rumble and the turbo whine.

darkest, fakest looking pics ever.

mine is turbo too.

:lol: good 'ol denmah

OMG! Don't look now, but a giant silver snail is humping your front cylinder!! :O

Let's see some pics of the bike in daylight.

Pics at night/in the dark are only good for ugly girls.

Brutal :lol:

seriously who would turbo this bike, what a waste.
and i wont believe you till i see video of you starting and revving it, on a dyno, in your garage etc. turning the camera on yourself and saying this is for superhawkforums.com and denmah that unblelieving bitch.

:lol: why wouldn't you want to turbo it? You'd have all the bottom end that a turbo bike needs and the top end boost of the turbo.....sounds good to me. :twisted:

I see way too many complications using a turbo on a v-twin... Specifically a carb'd v-twin

True FI is better but it's doable with carbs. All I know is, as a previous GPZ 750 turbo owner.....it would be FUN to ride.

I used to ride with a guy who had a MR. Turbo on an early model Buell, you know the one with the flip-up rear seat cowl. That thing ran like a bat out of hell, kept up to I-4 1000's no lie.

I know it's doable with carbs cause there's lots of turbo carb'd muscle cars running around. doing a turbo bike is different. specifically a carb'd bike...

read post above^^^^

I know. I know 3-4 guys who were gonna turbo there i4 bikes. i4's are much simpler then our complex v-twins just do to the layout of everything specifically exhaust and air intake

Buell is a v twin but the single carb makes it a little easier.

Wasn't the Honda CX500 available with a turbo? Believe I saw a few that had 'em. It was a weird looking v-twin compared to the SH to say the least...

02 SH

Yep, they had a 650 as well, that was set up like a Moto-Guzi engine. My brother owned 2 of those man were they a wierd bike to ride. He also had the Yamaha turbo wich was a blast on the highway! But none of those matched the Kawi...first bike in the 10's.

nice way to get off topic guys. denmah, you will have your video of the bike. the video of me passing you at 342 mph and smacking you in the back of the head. also, you had better watch out, or that snail will crawl up your @$$

Yeah we do that a lot around here. :lol:

ive noticed that. thats okay, you can get some good info out that way

:wink: some that you don't even want to know!

ha ha

Im interested in the nitrous . I honestly thought first thing when I bought this bike that it would rock to have a completely hidden nitrous system. For those special occasions I had to pull up on someone on a I4 bike that wanted to go.

How do you not use the turbo? If you give it gas it spools up besides with the large front sprocket, turbo lag and plus if the compression was reduced for boost he would have jack shit for power before the turbo kicks in.

I'm calling bs big time. The turbo is too big, the carbs are not the right type to run boost, and with no mention of a full fuel pump he can't be running a nitrous unless its wet. Besides even if this bike exsists it would be a tuning nightmare. From what I read it sounds like the bike runs perfect and no bugs. Bull crap!! I'll bet its someone already on the forum having fun with us.

I thiink he meant before he put it on, It's really not rocket science guys.

how do you have traction issues before he put a turbo on unless you're running shit tires?

there is a fuel pump for the nitrous 7 psi

Sure you can slap a turbo on anything but getting it to work right is a totally different story I had a 99 Civic Si with a custom turbo setup on it and that was fuel injected. i just dont see it running very well on a hawk we will all be on our bikes enjoying them this summer and this guy will be sitting in the garage staring at his bike wondering why he cant get to work. i still say bs till i see and hear the thing run it just dosent seem functional on the hawk do ya just have the turbo on the front cylinder?

And a 600 will never beat me ever! they have tried!

I'm calling BS based on pure gayness. Why would you want to waste such a fine thing as a turbo on a superhawk?
