That's awesome, can't wait to see more.

Crazy!! I look forward to seeing more progress.

this is awsome i love turbo bikes!@

i was planning on building a turbo hayabusa but i never got around to buying one?

damn... thats cool..

If it were real, I'd image i'td do something like Zero to Dead in a little under 3 seconds...

COOOOL

I have a 'Busa kit, but I'm as scared to build it as I am to ride one! (My feet won't even touch the ground!)

I love modified bikes, keep it commin' !

Off to a great start. Is it going to be a streched drag bike?

I'm going to make this like stock measures. Front is lowered a bit.

New pics for you people.

Well, here is where it stands for now.

Bypass valve vacuum line changed. Muffler in place. All body panels in place. So, no front panels.

looks good. that intercooler and the piping is superb. as for the flocked seat. there were a couple guys around here who covered their "passenger" seat in fur. the chicks loved it. I still havn't figured out what it is about bikes that ckicks dig so much....oh well

cool, you have a turbo fetish don't you? it's ok i have one too. but cool project my friends brother built a turbo hayabuse with 500bhp (he owns a tuning company) scary bike. they also have a golf cart thingy with two turbo ducati 999 engines !

Damn you build fast! And a good looking model too:D

Couple of gauges are waiting to get attached. Also I made front lights. What do you think?

its a beast !

Prowling the streets at night, looking for someone to humiliate at the next redlight? :) Nice to see a bike that´s not covered in fairing!

btw, try lowering the front mudguard. It looks like Moto X now..

Last updates, because this baby is ready.

Completed gauges. Scratchbuild pressure- and mixturegauges, and pressure controller. Also changing light and oilpressure light added.

Bike is standing with homemade support. One light without indicators on front.

i know... they are 500lb vibrators that go 200mph

that is looking bad ass, the piping and turbo are awesome

AWESOME work man!!!

Turned out really well! I like your work on the panel and indicators. If I stretch I can also say the flocked seat looks pretty ok when I have the whole picture...;-)
