Very interesting.. Where are you located.?.
If you ever have time, i would be interested in having a single Weber manifold cast for cb750..
Can probably make the pattern, and can trade for machined parts or cash..

Are you driving it with V-belt, multirib, or timing belt ?

Pretty crafty there Hasenkopf.

Nice work!

Making a fabricated one might be the way to go.....

I think you may have set a forum record.. 9 responses, to less than 50 views...all in under an hour.....nice...

OK, this looks like one cool project. Subscribed.

What kind of oil cooler is that you're running on the front of it?

Edited:
I also think it's cool that we have a 106 year old female who lives in Pumpkin Patch doing this work. Gotta be a first.

Ambitious project. Good work.

Wow, that's ambitious and impressive. Good luck.

Looks like you are doing it right..keep going..
Better change to a collet soon to hold your end mill, because one day iy will come off.. Could ruin your workpiece or table.. ( i got a big scar in mine. ).. Or your hand if you are unlucky and catch it...

Holy #$%*. This is #$%*ING awesome! 754, He actually cast that manifold we were talking about! Also, I think a timing belt would be exceptional looking. Dude, I am impressed. Did you make a video of the casting process??

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #11 on:** October 31, 2015, 08:17:47 AM »

You know, Hasenkopf I was looking at the first picture again. Wouldn't it be possible to run it off of the starter gear? This way you can have a straight shot to the SC, and possibly even gear drive the whole thing? I know you're way beyond the R&D stage of the project, but it is an interesting thought for someone who isn't running a starter motor anyway.

Keep reading a few posts until you get to the video.............This guy made his own turbine and connected it to a tranny..........then installed in a bike frame to race for speed records.......ON ICE

Just settle down, a few machinists on here..
We can help you thru this... Might be able to help with machining or advice..
Not sure where the pumpkin patch is but there are other machinist, might be one close to you..

This is excellent

Harald F · « **Reply #16 on:** November 15, 2015, 03:10:28 PM »

cool to see another supercharged cb550 in the works

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #17 on:** November 25, 2015, 05:52:03 AM »

I'm still gushing over that intake manifold.....

754 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2015, 04:56:36 PM »

Internal key way? Start filing or chiseling if you cant get a broach..

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #19 on:** December 26, 2015, 10:28:23 AM »

Get yourself a propane heater or my personal favorite, a wood stove.

Yoshimatic · « **Reply #20 on:** January 17, 2016, 01:35:20 PM »

This is all just awesome, you are a legend.

Lostboy Steve · « **Reply #21 on:** January 20, 2016, 02:48:33 PM »

Yeah man, after seeing my 21yo friend make all the parts I wanted, the machining world is just amazing to me. I would love to learn, but I REALLY have no time to put into it. Lucky enough to find time for my little projects.

Harald F · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2016, 11:12:24 PM »

very nice, i am just about to start fabricating the pulley system on my supercharged cb550 too

540nova · « **Reply #23 on:** September 20, 2016, 03:35:15 AM »

After seeing all this, I feel like such a shade tree mechanic. And I fix airplanes for a living!

Harald F · « **Reply #24 on:** September 23, 2016, 10:14:38 AM »

what kind of pulley drive ratio do you plan on running ? is your , and my cb550, the two only supercharged cb550's ?

looking forward to seeing it finished, and running
