That was probably me. I still have it but I think the market will bear a bit more should I offer it again.
The fun part of having a "blown" wing is the look on their face when they can't catch a barge with a trailer hitch on it.
As stated above... When I was working ......but now retired
budget thing.
What I say is based on Google and Yrs.of
experience, in the stream of time not even a
blink......So take anything I say as merely inconsequential babble.

Only problem? They used two actual bolt-on Valkyrie superchargers and ended up de-tuning them. This puppy with two units actually has LESS power than a Valk with only one. Still, can't deny that curb appeal...
1997 Valkyrie- Light Cutomization, but Too Busy Riding
1980 KZ1300- Bike's Haunted
1976 GL1000 (Yellow)- It Runs (Poorly) and Doesn't Leak (Mostly)
1974 Velosolex 3800- Better Than Walking
1972 CB750- Broke the Chain And Ate the Motor
1969 CT90- The Most Fun You Can Have on 90ccs.
1965 CA77 Dream- Needs a Full Teardown, but Complete
All advice I give is only valid until an expert corrects me.

I find the V8 neat, but a bit over the top IMHO. However, it is a show bike, so it falls into the catergory of 'anything goes'. I'm just not sure when 550HP would come in handy on a bike, other than in a burn-out competition
The Valkyrie I do like more.
Both bikes are very well executed, my hat is off to both builders.
1976 LTD, Being Returned to Stock
Standard 1976 GL1000 Being Morphed into the Alberta Super Clipper
I read somewhere that the Boss Hoss (the V8 bike, I'm pretty sure), because it has a Chevy 350 crate motor, will readily accept any of the performance mods made for that engine, and intended to be used in cars. Basically, a motorcycle with over 1000 hp was possible (if in no way practical whatsoever).
