my starting point.  built a turbo system.   turns out all that is good from the engine is the crank, tranny and heads. the cases needed welding and the heads will be ported . i am ordering pistons from JE this week, my freind Sam Teranova from Turbo Tec USA is doing all the engine work. I have done some more on the body and frame. I was not happy cutting up the brand new beasly ZX-11 body  added seat material to the aluminum center section I put in the body and caulked in the seat pan.  i added body mounts to the frame for the main body.  I fited a ZX-12 front fender. not sure how to mount it. I had to modify the hell out of the sliders to get it to fit.  I haven't figured out the front fairing yet. i will need to fab some brackets to hold it in place.  I had to cut away a bit of the fairing to clear the fork legs. I still need to fab up a set of handlebars. probably extend them forward as much as I can fit in the fairing.  Wheels on in front of my crappy old free trailer.  I need to make a belly pan , a chin fairing and all kinds of stuff still. Time is getting short. |

You've been real busy  . What kind of turbo. Is it going to be blow-thru on carbs or you using throttle bodies with fuel injection?? You'll make it way before me  , Sum |

Tell Sam hello from Scott, the fat guy with the Buell. Sam is one sharp cookie! See if you can talk him into coming with you to the salt.

Hi Panchop,
Nice looking machine!
A couple of questions. Are the mag rims standard production items?
What tyre's (size, make and speed-rating) are you running?
What kind of fasteners are you using to mount the body?
Regards Whitworthsocket

after two trips to the dyno, half of each day spent chasing electrical gremlins ( i pulled off the DYNA 2000 and switched back to an old DYNA S which solved my electrical issues ) i ended up making 205 hp / 115# tq. at about 9500 RPM. hopefully i can put that to the ground and make some decent passes. on the downside when everything went together all of a sudden my body didn't fit. I had to do some cutting and fiberglass work but at this point i don't have the time to make it pretty
