I have to agree with HoggyMtnBreakdown. I really like those number's you got on the Dyno but I'm not sure I would want that big thing bolted on to my bike. I'm not saying I don't like your bike only that thats not for me or my style of bike. Of course now seeing one up close and personal in chrome might change my mind somehow or another too. It just looks too big and it really has no lines to it to accent or match up on a bike. Good luck and I would like to see more pictures too. Good luck Dude.

I hear ya, its a tough bill to swallow but in the past Ive spent equal or better on 103, 117 and 124 inch motors all built proper and for the most part beyond my garage ability. For a bolt on system sort of speak its a pretty tough value to beat and Nick at trask understands that. I have to admit I was skeptical in the beginning but what finalized the deal was a trip out to Phoenix Bike week a few weeks ago to see the system in a real world environment and after a few rides and talks with real owners it was a done deal. Cant say enough about the entire Trask team who hands down are CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ITS BEST. Ive worked with numerous dealers, pro build shops and manufactures in my day and this group is the real deal. Money well spent IMHO Im looking forward to having them do a full blown Trask bagger at some point build as they build some amazingly sick bikes.

actually Trask offers several exhaust options and if none suit your style all it takes is the turbo exhaust flange and just about any style can be built. I like the procharger system and was very close to going that route again but chose the turbo. Either way I dont think you can wrong for the $$ vs HP gain. Different strokes for every folks.
I definitely agree with you, getting a turbo or procharger is clearly the best bang for your buck. You basically double your hp output by throwing either one on! Enjoy riding that thing!

helps out MPG when you're not in boost. once, you mash it, the extra fuel will be dumped in and MPG takes a dump

for me, it would be for the "wow" factor, but that's a lot of $$$ just for that...dunno what the OP's intentions were

Really? I think you should be able to answer this on your own....WHY would a turbo help you on a long trip??? Obviously he did this for the same reason i procharged mine..he wanted to be much faster than stock, but didn't want to ride around on an uncomfortable sport bike.

Yeah, it's intercooled and it really doesn't create that much heat....especially since it's out in the open. I don't feel anymore heat with the bike procharged than when it was stock
