1150 EF updating project

[firemun59]

I have some ideas about painting , but it is secret .
I hope it is ready to "fire up" in summer . In that time when body parts are in painter I?m goin to make owerhaul to the engine .
There is some parts still missing ; Dyna coils , stronger clutch and maybe pistons .

If someone knows where to buy coils and clutch , I?m interested .
Those parts are much cheaper outside Finland (example in USA ).

To Planecrazy :
You are wellcome to Finland ! Let me know if you are coming

At the risk of being lazy and not reading every single post. Where is this blower from?

You're kidding ... right? Your own post (with Blower's quote) holds the answer to your question.#-o:razz: :lol: ;-)

To Blower: Thanks for the invite! If I somehow find myself travelling to Finland I will DEFINITELY let you know beforehand and come pay a visit! On the other hand, if you travel to Chicago someday you have an open invitation to stay at my place.

Regards, Pal!!

I was misunderstood. I was refering to the supercharger on the project bike.....not blower the builder from Finland.

The supercharger is from 2003 Mini Cooper S . Supercharger is made by Eaton and it?s modell is M45 .

Sorry about that, Buddy!! I certainly DID misunderstand what you wrote, but at least it provided for a good laugh -- I almost fell off my chair laughing when I saw your response and realized what you were asking!!! :lol::lol::lol:;-)

Such a fantastic machine and build.
May I ask how you did the drive for the blower? Did you use the factory single pin on the crank that drives the stock ignition or did you make a special end for the crank?
Whoever had a Turbine bike, how about some fotos for grins?

It?s press tight fitting which uses that factory single pin + green Loctite + center bolt . There is support bearing behind the pulley . It should hold power what blower takes .

Some updates after few month . It was "good" summer week ( raining ) to spend in garage .

I polished aluminium tail , what a job . Aluminium was too soft to get real mirror finish but after
3 hours working it looks this :

Fitting seat :

You know how highly I think of your work so I feel comfortable criticizing only one aspect of the "new" look. In my opinion, the tank is all wrong for the bike. With all the beautiful flowing curves I would go back to the original tank, or perhaps put on a custom tank that picks up on the lines of the case covers. Other than that it's awesome!!

...And, as usual, the continued progress with your bike looks amazing ... truly inspired work!!!
