Same supercharger as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anhmxhK8cJg
Here's what can be done for half the money on a stock, naturally aspirated engine. 9.17 sec @ 153 mph AND it'll go to California and back. If you're gonna get into the performance game, you gotta make the numbers.

Not bad. For a Harley. 10.23 sec @ 135.64 mph, expensive though.

I may have.
I guess I just don't get trying make something fast that's hobbled by the starting platform, especially when there's already stuff out there way faster and cheaper, right out of the box. I don't mean that in a hateful sense at all, it's just an observation. When I see something like that I think "You bought the wrong bike and spent a lot of money just to get spanked". All of that said, I've lived long enough to know that I've been wrong before, a lot. So just because I think or believe something doesn't make it gospel.
But in the end, hopping up a Harley to that level and taking it to the drag strip is absolutely a competitive situation where ET and speed are the measuring sticks. As long as somebody who throws that kind of dough into an HD realizes that it's fast for a Harley and doesn't expect to best all comers that have less engine displacement or forced induction, they got their money's worth.
