    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

How fast do you want to go anyway?

Look closely, that's a Gold Wing engine in there. :D

Well, seeing as it's never been fired up, I'd say he wants to go faster than 0. That goldwing bike is nuts. I would think you'd burn yourself non stop with that pipe routed that way

It appears that the pipe that would be near your right leg goes to the center of the turbine, which would be on the intake side of the turbocharger. Appears no air filtering??

I would have to say the carb is on the other side. With or w/out filter??? The turbo is sticking out at the top. Serious fabricating there.
 
Actually, I'ms not sure if that's intake or exhaust. Seems the exhaust would be a bit toasty there, but it appears to come out the center of the turbo, then lead back under the engine and go out the left side. I found more pictures of this bike and other turbo'd Wings here.
Picture 14 is a great shot of the turbo, viewed from the top, which shows what is where, but still does not show the actual intake. It does, however lead to the front of the bike.
Picture 16 is a view from the left front and almost shows the intake.
Picture 19 shows the exhaust from the left rear.

That would be intake...not hot, but it would tend to get pretty toasty over time with heat soak.
 
Id like to have that calfab swinger, and be able to run that pretty wide wheel its got going on. but other than that...man what a wreck...

Turbos come off the exhaust.

True enough, but they are also plumbed into the intake. :-k

Looking at pictue 14 that I referenced earlier, it is more apparent that the big chrome pipe that would be next to the rider's right leg is, indeed, the exhaust pipe. :eek: Looking at the picture, you can see the carb which is attached to the left side, making the chrome pipe the exhaust on the right.


Here is a left side shot, showing more of the intake:

Did you happen to notice that those are either Kawasaki wheels or real Morris mags? :-k

BHP Magneto?

BHP Magneto?

Anyone have any more info on that Magneto setup?
That's neat little piece that I'd love to have on my GS!

You want a belt driven pant destroyer? I know I would get sucked into that on a long ride. Tired, I would seek a new footrest, then get a ticket for having no pants....or get ripped off the bike.
