going lean is my only concern.I usually beat on my bikes a little and they probably get more frequent tear downs due to this.a nitrous motor is really no different than a motor set up right to be run hard and even then there can be failures.good performance pieces will help with the failure but it still boils down to how fast you can afford to go

It all comes down to whether you have the money to run nitrous. You will damage your engine quicker and if its worth it go ahead. All up to you. If you got money to throw away, f@#k it. Do the damn thang. I know if i had the money and time to i would throw a jet engine on my bike and show everyone up but i dont so i stick to my budget and do what i feel is best. YOUR CALL DUDE !!!

Someone mention a jet powered bike?



This one has an afterburner installed too. Can you say 5000 hp?
