TTS Supercharger

I'm one of the lucky owners myself, we can make a little club, getting mine installed by a workshop on the 10th Oct, can't wait!

Agreed, bless Richard, looks fantastic, really pleased with their sucessful launch of the hayabusa.
 
We're making progress boys... I have most of the hardware installed just finishing up some electrical work. Waiting for feedback from Richard in order to make it a wrap. Hoping to light it up in the next few weeks.

Can't wait for your startup. Kind of wanting my warranty but man I'm loving that huffer. I like how you have the mirrors turned and that license plate bracket is super clean. Where can that plate holder be found?

can you outline the hardware installation procedure? what was needed to be disassembled and replaced for installing supercharger. I am not asking about steps of installing supercharger, I am curious about stock bike disassembling and replacing stock parts. for instance -
- replace pistons
- replace piston rings
and so on
thanks
 
So, what is the point of spending all this money to get 300 hp from a 350 kg (770 lb - wet) blown Rocket if less will buy the next guy 360 hp on a 264 kg (581 lb - wet) Busa?


I will still need to suddenly switch on the indicators when one stops next to me at the traffic lights. 20% more power and 86 kg (189 lb) less blubber - no contest. And virtually half the engine size - facepalm.

Richard. Please post some before-and-after dyno charts featuring power as well as torque.
 
If you want the fastest bike then you need to buy that one. Motorcycling is a bit more than power numbers and racing. I like the big torque cruisers.

Same here. I own two Harleys, three Victories, an Indian, a Goldwing and an R18 - all with more than enough torque - cruisers, baggers, tourers. I also own a VMX17 and XDiavel besides the Rocket - latter-day ICE bruisers (power-cruisers). OTT but most satisfying so. The new Rocket is trying to fit both groups, particularly eyeing that significant market segment swapping their 114/117 M8 motors out of 131 M8 crate engines or whatever else is spinning off the recent King-of-the-Baggers craze. And TTS is not touting torque, BTW, but all-out power and quarter miles - check their YouYube sales pitch.

Anybody believing that they need more torque than the Rocket 3 (221 Nm / 163 ft-lb stock) can deliver, with Penner's map to boot, has got money burning their pocket and has successfully sold themselves a solution to deal with the problem (-: But that money will be better spent on a Busa with a TTS blower, than on squeezing one in on the already crammed up frontend of the Rocket's mill. The Gen-3 Busa becomes prettier every time I look at it now.

Now I’m understanding you, thanks.

I installed a bolt-on Trask turbo on one of my Victories. It only does 8 lbs of boost, which allows it to run on a stock engine - meaning no open-heart surgery was necessary to swap in lower-compression pistons, overlap-corrected cams, etc. It (a 2013 Hammer S) produces enough additional power to endlessly ruffle the feathers on even the latest 2022 M8's. That was less than $6k which included an exhaust. It is not the king of the hill by any stretch of the imagination, but it is pretty high up the order in the crowd it mixes in.



Richard has done a fantastic job on his kit for the Rocket 3. But it is a Project fraught with aesthetics-trumping-function compromises, e.g.,
1) that beautiful hydro-formed exhaust header is an outright performance hoover (even Richard mentioned that on an earlier post somewhere here) and
2) where is the intercooler? - there is simply no space for it.
