Help....Turbo charger on Touring

[Tripps]

700 hp does seem a bit extreme....

WE do have an turboed 1500cc Roadster that is used as a test bed for the streamliner engines and it will produce 500HP SO a 2300cc version should make around 700HP BUT what are you going to do with that on a street bike ???

Seriously insane numbers mate

Well, it would get those 1770 filters out of my way...

I'll bet there is also a hell of a lot strengthened/modified parts to cope with those numbers!!!

Crank ,rods,head bolts ,pistons etc

Lord knows what 700 hp would do to the shaft drive. I'm envisioning a pretzel here.

We havnt had any rear or driveshaft problems with any of the modified rockets

Guess Triumph built that bit right, then!

Just thought I would pose this idea!!!
What about fabricate a discrete pulley system that takes off from where the super charger would normally attach, that then runs down a shaft that goes down the length of the motor (Between the motor and foot control rail) to the back then linking it to a supercharger with a suitable air filter in the airbox - even if you completely removed the airbox to gain the air flow...
I don't know what forces are involved in spinning up a supercharger and I would say machining may need to be extensive.
Could be a market for a stealth forced induction kit.
