g'day all.

This is my olds man Harley Davidson limited edition V-rod. He bought it off his mate who works at a custom bike shop. It has a Trask Turbo kit, and the turbo itself is a Garrett item. She pushes 167rwhp, which is insane for a bike!! I have been on the back of this thing at full boost...scary, scary stuff.

Currently the boost is set at standard 8psi, and with some built internals, that number could be bumped up. You will also notice the front-mounted intercooler behind the front wheel in the magazine spread, how cool is that!

the bike just recieved a full feature in the latest Oz Biker Nation magazine, so pick up a copy if you wanna read a bit about it.

Cheers, Dale.

My God you wouldnt want to up the boost would you? I reckon this would be one scary ride at wot! Just with the thought that Harleys have little in the handling and braking department and all that torque and power is enough to raise the hairs in my neck just thinking about it.
