3000 plus Hours of development and design time!

More renderings.

This shows how neat the installation sits on the bike. Hope you like it.

That is downright purdy. I may have to purchase one of those Rockets just to have one of them there Turbos.... hmmmm... where's my piggy bank

Richard thank you very much for sharing these pics of your 3d files They look tremendous
You should be pretty chuffed .

I can't wait to fit it and get some real enjoyment out of it.

Thank you for all your comments. As you can understand just finding time to post on here is difficult. We have the Honda CBR1000RR, the 5.0 Mustang, Harley M8 kits and other projects being juggled at the mo. I’ll try and drop stuff here as often as I can.
You do know that there isn’t an oil cooler on the Rocket, it’s just a guard covering the expansion bottle and reg/rec unit. So the actual movement is of the radiator. We push it slightly forward. But not much.
we do intend offering a St1, 2 and 3 something similar to what you have suggested. Certainly the exhaust is a huge restriction and I am working on that at the moment.
we are running a bit later than scheduled. One of the 5 axis machines has destroyed itself in a big way so work has and will back up until it’s fixed. We have ordered over half a tonne of 6082 alloy billets that will drop on the door step very soon. So lots going on. Jus added a bit more p-rn

Yes, I noticed the 'missing' oil cooler when I had to flip that screen up with my initial oil change. But we can hardly call that an 'expansion bottle screen' without detracting from some of the Rocket's pizzazz (-:

We have had a hot summer in SA, when it has not been raining, and I found that the engine keeps very well to a fairly narrow operating temperature range regardless, even crawling through traffic in town. The fans are running a lot of the time to accomplish this, though - also when not crawling through town traffic. Looking at photos (only), it seems that the new Rocket might have a smaller Radiator than the previous models - driven by aesthetics most likely, if that is the case. We all appreciate that more power also translates to more heat, almost linearly. So, what is the chance that we might need a thicker radiator core and potentially an oil cooler as well?

More renderings.

That looks great. I am impressed with the software you are using, which clearly includes 3-D scanning and imaging and probably clash-checking functionality.

There seems to be very little clearance between the back of the radiator and the new belt cover. I notice that you have added slits in the cover and finning inside to accommodate the heat coming through from the radiator. Very well done - all neatly integrated and compact. I assume that you will offer that in the same (factory colour and texture) finish as the engine.

Coming along very nicely!!

I wasn’t going to release our design of the TTS SUPERCHARGER for the R3 until we had hard parts on my bike and fully finished. But I’ve succumbed to the interest. So here are close to finished CAD renderings of the TTS Performance supercharger conversion. Your comments and questions are welcome.
You can see we have integrated the supercharger oil tank into the main case. We have designed the engine breather into the rear of the plenum. We have designed the blow off valve into the rear of the plenum. We always intended the plenum to look similar to factory. The relief in the top front 2/3 is to allow a carbon fibre intake pipe to flow over the top and into the supercharger inlet.
we have paid a lot of attention to shelling out the parts to keep the weight down.
The C30-94 Rotrex is now higher and closer to the centreline. This has helped with the air intake pipe and plenum design. And bike balance.
Over to you.

What do you ballpark the added weight to be (assuming you’re removing 20lbs worth of stock exhaust parts) net for stage II?

The is obviously very little clearance otherwise it wouldn't fit The belt cover has scoops on the outside to draw air in an keep the belt cool and also run across the front of the oil tank to reduce oil temps. There is a slot in the inner edge for the air to flow through. It also reduces weight further.
I think if you see the water temps going up you reduce the load and be sympathetic to the engine. I don't live in SA and i don't have a budget to test in all climates. I will work with anyone who has an issue. Development costs have already risen higher than with any other kit.

I stand corrected...

Can't believe I said that... the brain farts are a bit more frequent now.... anybody else have this ailment??? What day is it? Look squirrel
