You did a 107ci,did you do the crank?? Your going to have to lower the compression for sure.You better do some serious research!!

I would call Andy Simon of Simon's Performance ,& see what he thinks.He races, & might have some knowlegde of the subject.They generate some heat when in use,so i know the compression will have to be dropped.I would also have the crank welded,trued,& balanced for sure!!! I don't know how practical they would be on a air cooled application.Pro-Charger makes one for Harley's.

Are you the guy who had a silver bagger with a pro charger that the crank went out? I think a couple of super charged bikes from the Rockford area had crank problems.

I can answer that No!! Chris you know that was Jeffs bike on his stock bottom end on his 05 roadglide with 95 inch motor Makes 150 hp. he is the only one in Rockford that broke his crank beating the shi%^&* out of it and racing anyone. Kev's bike we upgraded his crank. I also called you back on your turbo questions about making more power. We were right across from you at BikerJam from your booth. Your 110 ten should make more power than that. If you want to talk I would be more than happy. I called you back twice and email. Kevs bike makes 194 on a Dragos Threshold 107. I will be building a burnt down vrod with a trask on it. They did not tune it right with there thundermax auto tune.

Again if you want more power out of your Trask turbo 110 call me. And to answer your question on Trask turbo My pricing is way better than the local dealer I promise that......
Thanks,
FD

Nope never burnt that one down in fact I had Frank pull the blower off before I traded it in on my '09 FLTR that I have now.
