Yeah the only way to describe that thing was stupid lol. It was awesome! On 7psi it made 230hp at the wheel. I never had any good races with it though. I want another one bad lol. If you ever have the chance to ride one definitely take it!

That is an awesome bike! Gives me the itch to get a bike again, but sadly I dont think it will happen.

Ohhh I would, I couldn't imagine a turbo bike on a stock wheel base. A 35 shot made stock wheel base iffy and fun but not fast.

Thanks! Doooo it before you get married and have kids! Definitely fun to cruise around on and gets pretty good mileage to boot

It was stretched 6in and lowered 3in. It wouldn't wheelie but would roast the tire through first and second if you wanted to lol. I think you should talk to Richard at RCCturbo and have him build you a kit for the R1!

That'd be pretty crazy! I'd love to go turbo but maybe on a bigger bike like a busa some day. I'd still like to have this bike be able to go out and hit the twisties in a day or two worth of work.

Did you ever get your bike tuned anywhere in the cities? I talked to Turbo Todd he seemed pretty cool but I'm leaning more towards Bill "Hitman" from MC Dyno Tech. He said he wanted me around during the dyno to help drain the tank for race gas and can switch out jets and stuff which most people might think is dumb but I want to learn and be hands on which I think is cool.

Too bad Shane extranomeatpimpinainteasy Ziegler doesn't want to tune nitrous bikes :(

Is bill the guy that used to have hitman motor sports? If it is I want to say I don't remember hearing to many good things about him. Or at least about hitman motor sports. And turbo Todd from midnight cycles in mpls? I would go to turbo Todd. He is super helpful and knows his shit really good! He's the only guy I would have let touch my busa here locally but I was turbo. I was going to have him tune the busa but we had a bad storm the day before and it took out some electronics in the dyno room and never got around to rescheduling. Richard sends a pc map with his turbo kits and Todd said those are usually pretty solid so I just ran that for the summer.

Too bad Shane doesn't tune bikes is right! That was the first thing I thought when I got the busa lol. But after dealing with Todd a little bit a seeing how much he knew about turbo bikes I felt comfortable with letting him work on the busa.

Ohhh really. Yea I think he used to be hitman motor sports. What kind of stuff? Maybe shoot me a PM with bad things if you don't want stuff public. Yea Todd is at midnight cycles in Muderapolis right by all those biker bars near Augsburg. Those are really the only two guys that got back to me about tuning a nitrous bike. Hmmm when I went to go talk to Todd he did have a bunch of quick car/bike guys in there so he must know what he is doing.

Meh I don't mind. I remember when I was researching who to have tube the busa I heard of hitman blowing up a few turbo bikes on the dyno. When you turbo a stock busa engine they are very picky about their tune and will blow head gaskets real easy if they aren't tuned right. And I just remember hearing about a lot of overall poor customer performance.

Plus everyone on zg and mnsbr recommended Todd for a turbo bike. I mean hell he had a busa making over 700hp if I remember correctly. So he knows what he's doing.

That's not good to hear, maybe I just feel like Hitman is a better sales man. I guess I still have time to decide. I'm just glad both said to keep with my fogger setup over a spray bar like everybody says on the forums.


Ordered up half my air shifter stuff from grainger.

PN #:
5ZEE4 - Air Cyl
5THR1 - Rod clevis
6JJ52 - Solenoid

Need to order a regulator to regulate the nitrous pressure down to a 120psi, a switch and a few fittings/lines and should have an air shifter on the cheap :)
