Okay, as to "why" I wanted a blown bagger??? I have always been a big fan of forced induction. I loved the idea of having this big cruiser that will absolutely scream when I want it to, and can also cruise for as far as I want, no matter if it is 100+ degrees out, with no problems at all. The system to me also looks fantastic. I am going to see how much power the stock motor will take, then when she goes, we are going to build probably a bad **** 113" that I can pour 20lbs boost to, and make upwards of 200 hp. I also want to see the faces of some of these crotch rocket guys when they get their butt handed to them by a couch on wheels

Got to take the bike out on dry roads today for the first time. Power is pretty crazy on this thing. The boost comes in pretty good around 3000, and hits very hard at 4000, then in a split second the thing is bouncing off the rev limiter. The stock 180 tire holds until 4000 rpms, then gets incinerated for as long as I stay in the throttle. This is my first bike ever, so it seems like a beast to me.

Certainly sounds like an interesting experiment. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's interested to find out what the stock engines limits are. The only thing I'd urge is caution. I watched a drag race once with a Harley powered top fuel version taking off from the lights. The guy made a hundred yards down the strip when the rear cylinder let go from the crankcase. This happened while the rider was laying as flat to the tank as he could get. To say that he got the wind knocked out of him would be a grose understatement!

Ride Safe!
