There's so much I like about this build and so much I would do differently, that said I can't discount your craftsmanship at all, and if it were easy there would be hundreds of videos of this concept, there are very few. Thank you for your tutorial. I am considering the same idea with a 4 cylinder classic Japanese bike.
Very neat - using gravity to help get air out of the parts that don't like running dry does make sense. I'm just in the throws of doing a supercharged GSX11 but I took the easy option & used an early Gen1 Hayabusa fuel pump module as it's all self contained..and I had one on the shelf! Having watched your more recent videos first it all worked out very well!
Nice build. I'm building a CB650 with speeduino. Upgraded charging to VFR800 charger. Build has been sitting for a while but now I got some inspiration. Maby I should put the build on youtube also :)
Well done young man... your graphics are easily read. I just wanted to know how that SUPERCHARGER was the weird part of the build ??? Did you make it? , can I get one ??? Hahaha 😂
I owned a 1968 CL175 back in the day and that thing was just something special. WAY faster than it had any right to be. I do even now wish I still had it.
Nice work, looking forward to see the next video. I'm very curious about the throttle body before the supercharger and the injectors after the supercharger.
@@vintageironmotorcycles Okay, I though that the most common setup with superchargers is blow thru when you got the throttle body and the injectors after the plenum the same way as with a turbocharger. I haven't study the supercharger blow thru application much when I went for draw thru in my bike. To my supercharger build I was looking for a old school design with draw thru and carb, two summers have gone and there's still alot of tuning to do to get the bike run well at the whole rev range, but it run and is drivable😉
I'm digging your build. Going to be an awesome little machine. One thing I wanted to bring up is hard mounting the fuel regulator on the JIC fittings. These are aluminum and brittle. My concern is the fuel regulator acts like a tuning fork and the vibration from the engine will fatigue the JIC fittings to fail and it may emulsify your fuel when running. Best solution is to isolate it with the PTFE line somehow. Anyway, just my cents. Keep up the build mate, looking forward to seeing her run!
I 100% agree. I definitely wouldn't mount it like that if this was going to be a street bike, but since this is going to be a land speed bike that only makes a few runs a year, I'm hoping it will hold up. I've already have thought about relocating it to the front of the bike (where the horn use to be). Thoughts?
@@vintageironmotorcycles okay cool. Minimal run time helps for sure. I'm with you agonizing where to mount things on a small chassis. Think about the space under the motor as a location. If you have a fuel leak it's not going to hit anything hot. I'm stoked to see your progress. So cool to do things outs out of the box. I have million ideas, but it's your project and your ideas. Can't wait to see the next video Cheers!
Following this project, I am going to fuel inject my supercharged 600cc single but due to power consmption requirements of an electric fuel pump I was going to use a mechanical fuel pump driven off the supercharger drive belt but with the injectors triggered electronacly

This is so freaking cool been kicking around this idea for a year now on my old bandit 1200
Go for it man!
That thing looks very profesionly built. The quality of work you did here is outstanding. I hope it runs as good as it looks
Hopefully we see you at Bonneville Speed Week 2023!
I would love to go, but I don't know if it's in the cards for this year.
You have done something i have been dreaming of doing for years. ❤
Awesome update! That is actually a very nice looking aftermarket tank.
Man, hope everything is coming along on the build! Can't wait to see your progress!!
Great progress! I shared the video with some of my best friends who also appreciate good fab work and garage engineering 🏁
Thanks for sharing!
its looking good man! very neat system, looking forward to hearing it running!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 👍
Nice work, looking forward to see the next video.

Hey Bo, it's really the same setup that 99% of supercharged cars use. Nothing ground breaking here ☺️

Sweet project, I personally think you should put brass nipples on the spokes to bring out that blower pully center and the pipe color
Following this project, I am going to fuel inject my supercharged 600cc single but due to power consmption requirements of an electric fuel pump I was going to use a mechanical fuel pump driven off the supercharger drive belt but with the injectors triggered electronacly
If I have 4, 225 cc injectors that require 43 psi, how big of a fuel pump would I need?
2 strokes kits that u might know?
Nice job!
This thing is hotter that Taylor Swift live.
That just an entertainer
This is really awesome! Cannot wait to apply this information to music future builds
