I would consider a Bagger an entry bike....who the heck wants to ride a tank around.

Go the mighty agile Sporty!

How about we stick to helping the guy with useful info and keeping the garbage OPINIONS to yourself?

To the OP, have you checked out some of the info on xlforum.net?

To the original poster. Check out this thread over at hdforums; theres a chap doing a nice job on Sporty turbos that actually look good (as opposed to the ones that hang down the back near the rear wheel - which may perform, but man they look fugly)

Cheers

Good point on the Trask systems. They are well established and know their stuff so the risk of something going wrong is way lower. Here is a link to their site:

For me it comes down to a balance between performance and aesthetics, with form being a higher importance than function. I do like the turbo units from Aerocharger as doing away with the waste-gate, blow-off valve and external oiling requirements makes for a nice tidy unit. But that's just my personal preference.

Its a nice sporty and clean set up looks great. But be carefull what you say heres Fastbaggers dyno sheet I built it and tuned it. And this bike is geared to race stop light to stop light. Not bad for 800 lbs and over 200hp's

Heres a small video of the bike in front of shop.
