Start breathing again, please!

live is too short.

I have the power I need.

I am a Harley guy. PERIOD. As long as it's H/D I'm with ya!

I'm all about looks and style....you young fellas knock yourself out!

At some point...you'll ALL figure out is about the ride...not speed.

I'm on your side bro...be safe. SERIOUSLY. Be safe.

I think your doing a bang up job for the 1st attempt

Looking at your pics maybe when you add the inter cooler next year the exhaust could be run better if you brought your rear cylinders down around and under the cam plate up into the turbo it would have a more direct flow into the turbo the front one could also be brought down and a curve back up into the collector.

just my two cents. like I say it's still a hell of a 1st attempt

Default how short is it?

Thanks Joe,
Started breathing after your last post, about the time I realized you do not have a turbo or plan on doing anything but talkin trash about the mans build in question..... thats doing a mighty fine job.
By the way, started riding in late 50's. May have more miles backing out of the garage this year, than you have miles going forward this life time.
Located in san jose, if your in the neighborhood stop by.

I am confused. You mention that you have the power you need. So was it a different 'Traveler' that posted on the 'prochargers in the wild' thread that quote: "You guys are lucky....I posted a qestion about getting one for my bike and never got an answer." ?? Just askin'. P.S. Thanks for your military service!!

Quick clip of the first startup video. Obviously there are a couple more things that I need to do before taking a test-ride. I will be pulling it all back apart probably at the end of the month and sending the hot parts out to JetHot for coating...
