Not funny and probably there's someone else thinking the same thing.

That one is going to take a loooong time to become a funny part of your Bonneville 2011 story. Some serious business when they ship the wrong bike. Are you still in the states? We're still looking for you and the sponge to show up in San Diego.

Lars, you're kidding us, right ? This is what you refer to as Danish humor or something like that ?  Cheers, Greg |

I was considering using an Eaton M62 supercharger for next year. It has clockwise rotation while a Sportster engine rotates counter clockwise off the alternator side. It is not practical to drive it off the cam side which has correct rotation. I have a tentative solution which is to use a jack shaft from alternator (left) side to transfer drive to cam (right) side. A somewhat ambitious challenge but considerably less challenging than supercharging an antique Indian ... Joe

Can you change the direction by swapping shafts in the rotors ?? I was considering using an Eaton M62 supercharger for next year.

Lars, this is one instance when all of the useless paperwork a person fills out to ship something might be useful.

There's some other chargers to consider that turns the right way or can be ordered as you like. The Rotrex C15 or the new C8 is an extreme compact hairdryer. Not pushing Danish products, us Swedes got the Lysholm but it's a bit big. Opcon 2036 in a compact screwcharger. Lars, Ihope it turns out an easy solution, what a nightmare, it's like coming home from the mall and discover you have the wrong child in the cart. |

That happens every day and is a minor easily made mistake. This is serious! |

Sounds like the address needs to be written in a few more languages....
Hope your bike shows up none the worse for it's wanderings without you. Can't trust those crazy Indians, they seem to wander around on their own. We'll be waiting for that positive outcome Lars, so try not to wait too long to let us know where it landed and who owns the one you got. They could end up being your new best friend! Stay positive My Friend!!
