Default Turbo/supercharged kit??

Kind of had a crazy thought about maybe putting one on my bike. It's just a thought.....as of right now at least. I just recently started researching kits. I was just curious if anyone has done one or know anyone who has done one and what they thought of it.

There are quite a few of the Trask kits running around. Those I've seen didn't have much of an intercooler (probably because most Harley riders don't like the visuals of a big honkin' radiator on their bike), so they're limited in how much boost and power they can make.

A friend has a Procharger, but at the power level he was going after, getting everything to work and stay together was far from seamless.

RB Racing has a great reputation among those who really care about making power.

Aerocharger has an interesting looking package. I've seen one on a demo bike, but never seen one actually running around, and never talked to anyone who owned one to get feedback on how well they work.

I have seen the Trask booth at Sturgis the last few years. They are in the parking lot of Black Hills Harley. The installs that they have done and on display look great. I have not gotten the opportunity to run one, but they look like fun.

We have had some great success with our kit, it's one of our best selling items. I have included links to all of the youtube videos we have posted. If you have any questions about the kit please feel free to give us a call anytime!

Thanks for the feed back guys. I called Trask today and got some more useful info on their kit. Seems like it's something I may do. Still need to do a little more research on these companies before I drop 5k-7k on a kit.

Turbo in a harley....I dont like. Sorry.
If you want more power for run, change to vrod or suzuki m1800r for more power or buy a sport bike, but install in a harley davidson a turbo is quit the essence a great bike/brand.

I reckon it's a good deal cheaper to buy a quality kit, with all the bugs sorted out, and the engineering and multiple-experimental cost spread over many sales, than to do it myself, especially if I consider what my time is worth.

Might be different for someone who's retired or somethin'.
