Turbocharged ugly motorcycle...

Someone complained that the Sprockets section was dead.

So here's a link to my Turbocharged 1980 Honda CX500 build: http://www.bcclassicmotorcycleclub.com/simplemachines/index.php?topic=3593.0

That was me, Thanks for the link

CX500 is awesome, only eclipsed in awesomeness by the CX650

I like those bikes too, however, your right Trans. This one is pretty ugly

I don't think it's ugly.

I've got a CX650 Eurosport as well

Sweet!

I tried reading the thread and the server must have gone down, didn't get past page two. Can you spoil it for me and tell me if you got it running?

That is a sweet project Transmaro.

Not running yet but getting close.

Ok, it's running now!

The server is up and running again if anyone missed out the first time.

TIL that Hayabusas are not the only bike that gets turbo'd

That bike is only a little ugly.

One of the guys in our club was the inspiration, he's got a turboed GSX-R1100.

His makes 234 hp at the rear wheel, mine won't be anywhere near that.

He claims it's quite rideable and smooth but I don't believe him. He's like me, over 250lbs and that probably helps. Put a little guy on it and it's probably terrifying.

I asked if he'd taken it to the drag strip. He said he went once and it nearly killed kim.

Give anyone a minute to get use to how it feels and how much ham you put on that throttle and rider weight shouldn't be a issue
