Default Supercharger Kit by HD Blower - Thoughts?

Greetings Community Members ...

We are almost done developing a brand new supercharger kit for the HD twin-cam engine, and our inaugural test bike is our own Softail Blackline. Would love to hear some of your thoughts (and questions) on how it looks so far. I will definitely keep you posted as to the performance numbers as they become available.

We are waiting for an additional part before running her on our dyno. We invite you to check out more of the developmental stages on our website at www.HDBlower.com, and LIKE our Facebook page as well!

Thanks in advance for looking

Here is a rendering of a bike in OEM fashion w/o our blower kit, and a pic with our kit installed.



Here is a picture of our Softail on the dyno waiting for her first pass.


Here is a picture to show the size of the supercharger next to an iPhone for comparsion.

Wow, that looks clean. Will there be options for an intercooler? Please design one for a 2013 Road Glide Custom. Schwing!

@99souls - you would be surprised at how cool the charge air is using the Rotrex supercharger. i am confident our engineers are not neglecting the glides out there! you can get more info from our website. thanks for the kinds words!

One of the cleaner looks I have seen. That is what has stopped me from doing it on RGC. Have one in my Vette and must say the additional HP is a blast. Can't wait to see it when the bike is done.

In all honesty its the same concept as a ProCharger except that its on the cam side of the bike. The design looks very tidy, but it does limit the use of an intercooler which will be a limiting factor in the amount of boost you can make.

still...one tidy looking unit!
