    Hi Frothy,

    I set up a Pro charger on a 2007 Wideglide. We made some changes to the engine to make it a bit more super charger friendly. Started with forged 103 cube pistons and had the crown ceramic coated. We gave them a bit more clearance than we would on a std style engine.We kept the static comp at 9.4:1.  Fitted some gear drive cams with a late opening intake valve to allow plenum pressure build up rather than blowing your boost straight out the exhaust. Cleaned up the heads and gave them a good valve job. The bike already had V&H big radius exhaust and it worked ok. Apart from that the Pro charger was fitted as supplied. Had to upgrade the clutch though. The bike also had a PC5 Power Commander and tuned up without any issues. The only thing I would change if I was to do another one is I would use a Power Vision to tune.. We didnt use the injectors in the kit. They were too small. The 2nd set they sent us were way too big. I found a set from a Chevy truck that were perfect. My overall view was very good. Easy to ride sedatley but when you open the throttle it was a tire melting animal.. The suspension and brakes were quickly upgraded as well.

    Cheers Brian.

    Had a customer with one on a 2010 fatboy, ran like a dog. 96 cube with 255 cams. After pulling all the piggy back crap off it and fixing a few things here is a vid of its first dyno.....  I do prefer turbos, but there are no kits on the market that are any good. They all run turbos that are too small and just look ugly.  Doing a custom turbo setup would be better but costs a fair amount to setup right and look good.

    Frothy, Fred at ProCycle at Slacks Creek does a lot of HD's with turbos, a few superchargers and a few Nos set ups as well. There is usually at least 2 bikes in the shop with these set ups every week.
    Could be well worth your while taking a ride if you are thinking of going that direction.

    TTS have a new set up just released Maxi Charger https://www.facebook.com/pages/HDMaxi-Charger/422533427876785
    When I spoke with them about a month ago it was looking like $5500 delivered here, add all the extras like clutch, pipes, tune etc. Only works on CHAIN drive cam set up with stock size throttle body

    I'm not having a go at you Alan, just i come from a bread where we dont like to leave any ponies on the table, We can talk all night over a slab about the 100 different ways to skin a cat which we should actually do!!!!ahhaah To me i see it as the V8 guys vs the 4 cylinder/rotary guys! The 4cyl/rotor guys will spends hours and hours trying to find every little HP ( Me ) and the V8 guys with their big cubes are happy to give a few a way....
