Off-Topic - Randakk's Supercharged CBX

[randakk]

Someone asked me the other day if I was doing anything interesting...other than the ballet lessons (the ballet training is part of the regimen / research I'm doing for the book I'm working on).

Actually, I'm making serious progress on the supercharged CBX:



Here's a link to some more build pictures

I hope to have this rig on the road in the spring.

Now that's nice.


Going to be hard to hold on to that one when she is done

Sounds cool, keep the updates coming. Will this be the 1st supercharged CBX ? Very interested to see this. Later.

There are lots of Turbo CBXs, but only a few supercharged CBXs have been done.

I can count on one hand the ones I'm personally aware of. None of the ones done before have much technical similarity to my project. For example, I'm using an unusual and unique combination of blower type, blower drive arrangement and carburetion.

One of the more amazing ones was a Top Fuel CBX dragster from Denmark. Reportedly, it burned over 3 gallons of nitro fuel on each pass! Here's a YouTube video of that amazing bike:

I will be showing this bike for the first time at this event:

6th Annual Carolina Classic Motorcycle Show at Spencer, NC on May 12th.

Here's one more sneak preview:



Commitments to some editor-types limit my ability to share many more details until after the bike show on May 12th.

That would be a 600 mile day out and back. Tempting... very tempting.
