Richard sent me some pics of the new supercharger kit with the integrated engine clutch cover. Looks good and will make the supercharger mounting much easier as well as allow use of engine crash bars with the supercharger.
I still don't like those exposed pulleys. If I weren't a year round rider I suppose it wouldn't matter but that whole front area on mine gets hammered in the rain, mud and snow.
Looks cool,I would like to look into charger or turbo.The real question is how much and how hard is the install.If you have any feed back on charger or turbo let me know.
The kit was around 2500 GBP ($5000 USD) when I got it over a year ago. Not sure what the price is now but with exchange rates as they are it will still be expensive. I'm also not sure if the new engine cover is included or extra cost. Richard will have to clear that up.
Install is not simple "bolt-on" so requires you be handy with tools and engine mechanics in general (drill and tap the crankshaft, install new fuel injectors, clutch springs, etc.). I did the install myself in about 3 weeks of my spare time. You could expect to pay a shop around $1000 USD to install it. You also need to include price of Tuneboy for tuning as well.
3ngin33r1, I ride year round in the nastiest weather and road conditions you will find so long as the roads aren't too filled with snow and ice. My original install had no belt/pulley cover at all and I had no problems. This year I put on a belt cover similar to the one pictured (mine fully covers the crank pulley) and that keeps most things out and wet operation is better as the belt keep drier.
Ty mine is suppose to be in route 5k is good but this year its 6K plus shipping. figure $200.00 for shipping. Another $ 1100.00+ for nevs lock up clutch!
You are right about the tune boy also say $440.00 plus shipping
I am e-mailing Richard to see if the gasket come with or if I have to order from Triumph!!!
All in all its a good way to deal with a divorce or provoke one. I don't have to worry as mine was already happening so I ordered it to help me cope with my loss
Also removed body armor from the back of my jacket incase I get to feel some upgraded fun bags press against my back
All in All priceless
There are two types of people in this world!
Thems that do and Thems that don't!
And by God thems that do do and thems that don't don't! :twisted: :twisted:
Ah yes its back to the old days when I was a single squid why I remember getting pennicillin shots before we went on liberty :lol:
I hope your right about reliability I got 27 years out of the last ride :lol:
Who knows may some day I will do it again after I am done plowing the young fields in the pasture!!! Know matter what the cost!!!!!
Na I ain't slamming that feller in the door again
Just think now the age spand is 21 to 50, of course I still love her (my Rocket that is :twisted: )
Well its getting deep, time to take a break!!!!
Thanks for the humor it does help to vent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember,when your out there riding, twisting on the throttle and feeling that pull, you ain't thinking of anything else! 8) That's a very special place to be, no one understands it but the one that's doing it. That's a great way to vent. Keep on rocking!!!!
