Really diggin this thread guys. I'm tempted to post up but I'll prob get some grief for turning a decent stocker into a "rat cafe" as the admiring harley bagger rider dubbed it the other day  >:( ...Whatever dude - I still think it's sexy  ;D

Post those pics Adam, that's why I started this thread.  If other people don't like it its their problem not yours!
" Why does anyone get offended by what someone does to their own bike? I dont get it. "

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Drink fast, drive slow, but ride it like you stole it

those cheap little compressors work good,,ive thrashed a $99 one for years,,one tip,,if it comes dry and you have to fill it with oil they supply in a plastic bottle throw it away and just use engine oil,change it after a couple of hours and then itll be ok,,when i mean thrashed ive run this cheapie non stop when blasting for up to 30 mins maintaining 70 psi,the only trouble ive had was a start capacitor wire snapped from vibration out of its connector.

Bob, I have been reading your build thread and I am in awe. First of all great job in all aspects of the build.  I am a big fan of turbos and 500/550's.  You took those two things and combined them and I love it.  I don't want to gm up this thread, but how is the bottom end torque affected by the initial restriction of the turbo?  Is it pretty laggy or does is spool up pretty quick?  Anyways, you win so far in my book, but who's keeping score  ::)

Wow.  Wasn't there an article done about that bike in some Canadian magazine?  I seem to recall one that looked similar.
