Quite a work of art and engineering.
I wonder how much HP will be made?

Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 this bike will a real runner. I, too, would like to see how much power it makes and how that power makes it to the pavement.

Well in theory with the current gear-ratio that I have for the supercharger it should make about 0.9bar boost. Now if you calculate that 1bar of boost doubles the hp compared to naturally aspirated, I would be looking around 90hp from crank. But in reality I have no idea how much boost there is actually going to be and if the engine can even handle it.

Few updates again.

Rear light and licence plate mounting tack welded.



New lever for the petcock to replace the ugly plastic one. I also made a bracket that is going to mount the petcock to the frame.

Amazing attention to detail! Too good for this little black duck........... ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I'm digging that trigger wheel, where did you find it?  my carbs are about spent to I am getting ready to fuel inject it and probably run ignition off of it also.
