Nothing Beats Getting Blown!

Before you guy's start getting any idea's....

Remember in my earlier post's I said I would use every trick in the book to make this bike really bite!

Enter the supercharger!!!

I have just procured a supercharger or "blower" with the generous help of a English gentleman.

Now starts the tedious and maybe hazardous process of incorporating it on a outdated British single.

No believe me...supercharging a single cylinder bike is technically quite difficult.

Even if it is successfully incorporated, whether it will actually boost power or be more of a parasitic load is any one's guess.

I will post some pictures as soon as i start work on mating the superchcrger to the engine and chassis.
