Very slowly taking form, gotta get some custom oil lines made next

Mounted a brake light w/ some random scrap. Think Im going to tuck it in a little closer

Ditched the traditional seat springs for now. Experimenting with this mountain bike shock. Much firmer, pretty solid overall. I think the look is cleaner. I think I'll be keeping this for now

Im considering building a heat shield underneath the seat. There is a fair amount of room with feet on the pegs in the riding position though. I guess well find out :o

Finished the exhaust. Wrapped some shit. Found a silicone hose for the intake. One thing at a time

Built a prototype intake manifold. Waiting for a silicone boost hose to connect the turbo to intake. Got exhaust wrapped up. One thing at a time

Well the weather got nice, and this project sat in the corner all summer while I rode my others. I acquired an ST1100, and an FZ09 this spring, and spent all summer ridding the piss out of both. Once again were getting to the time of year where I'll spend more time in the garage than on...

Not alot of progress on this build in the last few months However going to pick up a parts bike this afternoon, complete no title $400. Just what I need I am considering revisiting the draw through idea. swansamaa seems to be happy with ther performance on his CB550. I originally shyed away...

How is the throttle response with the draw through setup? Did you use any carbon seals on the turbo? I originally planned to draw through my XS shitheap project,and decided to blow through due to hearsay about drivability improvements, although fuel pump, pressure regulator and etc are proving...

Actually, now that I switched the tank, theres lots more room up there... I might be able to fit the internal waste, with a bit more creative charge piping One thing I also hadnt taken into consideration, is the heat offput by the turbo, right there by the tank...

Great information, I appreciate the input. Whats your opinion on the Mikunis? Ive heard a handful of reasons to go either way Unforunately, those carbs werent super cheap, and theyre here and brand new lol I understand there are benefits to CV carbs, but do you think it will cause large...

I am tickled switch the overall height

I've seen several people do it successfully with the XS, even required a restrictor, apparently too much pressure. Should survive it seems

I read alot about poor drivability from draw through set ups, blow through seemed to be much more forgiving, although more work and money. From my understanding blow through setup will yield better off idle performance/smoothness. I have a plan to hide the fuel pump, well see how it works out...

Another question, I've got two ports on the turbo for boost gauge/wastegate Can I use this port in place of a pitot tube?

What do you think caused the turbo failure, and what turbo were you using? I was under the impression that CV carbs didnt respond well to turbos do to the slide being blown open Unfortunately, I purchased the bike without carbs. Those VM34s were brand new and cost me about $200. So Im going to...

Im not sure about heavier springs yet, I'm planning for low boost. Right now Im thinking log style manifold behind frame rail w/ pitot tube I've located a simple boost referenced regulator Need to find fuel pump, and pressure rated needle/seats for the VM34s This whole this is an experiment...

This is why I wanted a narrower tank

Excessive alcohol consumption leads to stupid shit like this

I think I like the thank location. I know the seat springs are "backwards" in the photo, but they seem to perform much better this way....
