ROTREX SUPERCHARGERS

That sounds dandy by me, but I'm more interested in a cover for both the drive belt/wheel and the air filtering. I'd hate to be running super charged on a gravel or dirt road or even a paved country road with gravel near the sidelines and have a stray rock get caught in the works, potentially dislodging the belt or breaking the drive wheels. Drag strips are one thing but I'll be running my Rocket anywhere a street vehicle can reasonably traverse as most Captains will be. An air filter cover would mostly be for wet weather riding, not as important as the belt cover but still a consideration for many of us who ride in anything.
 
Hate to say it Rockethead, but even a blown Rocket's top end will be less than a stock busa's. But maybe you can hang on long enough for your buddy to get scared of the 150+ MPH winds blowing past, maybe... he'll have a fat faring to protect him though and you won't. You best prepare to hang on in Category 5 force hurricane winds! Only way to beat him in the top end will be with a blown busa or maybe a new ZX-14 (still be very close).
 
The conversion is not very difficult to fit, especially if you have a mechanical aptitude. It comes with very good (if I say so myself) instructions with many photo's. You will our accelerate most bikes up to 100 anyway :D I have a dealer in Clovis Calif. but I take it that thats some way away?
 
Just hot off the wire from TTS... an improved Rocket supercharger setup with new polished finish and drive belt cover. Power output is now 238.2 HP and 200.2 Torque - see dyno charts below. Richard didn't specify exactly how the improvements were made though, so I'll have to inquire on that. Might have something to do with that black reservoir cylinder behind the air blower pipe. Don't look like an intercooler though. More details, Richard?

Cost is £2800 or about $5200. Extream clothing and cycle gear at Clovis. The boost is increased to 12lb max at the redline by fitting aslightly bigger pulley 95 mm to 100mm. Plus some better mapping has really helped. Also we have fitted the air temp sensor in the supercharger inlet not in the plenum which has kept it within its design range and stopped the engine leaning out as it got hot. Looking at water injection as opposed to intercooling as we have seen great results on other installations with this. There is room under the seat for a good sized water container, this would keep the bike uncluttered.
 
Just been for a spin on the bike. I can honestly say its the hardest charging street bike I have ever ridden, yet you can cruise around just as before the bike has no quirks it just does anything you want, and it handles. I think it would do a 9 second 1/4. :D
