I was thinking about the possibility as well. In theory, an ironhead might be able to handle the nitro because iron has a much higher melting point then aluminum. Not sure it is a good idea an an evo motor exept in very small quantities for quick bursts as aluminum melts very quickly.

Personaly, I wouldn't mess with it. It can cause some serious engine/gasket/warping issues if not used/installed properly.

This post has got me thinking now. The new 2 piece fat bob takes I have on my bike now gives me a neat little spot to hide a small nitrous bottle where nobody will even notice it right inbetween them.

I know that most problems with nitrous occur when too big of a boost is used for the fuel system. And a stock fuel system can handle a small boost with no problems if properly installed. How much of a boost would a small nitrous system properly installed give an Ironhead?
