With the new bike I can put that thing where ever I want and the power is on tap.
I just want the boost for 90-100MPH power wheelies.

Re: My Turbo GSXR750 Project
By no means. I have ridden bikes since I was 4. My first bike was a Honda crf50. It was a 1980's clutchless three speed that my dad bought and rebuilt for me. The first time I rode it I ran straight int a neighbors fence. I have been racing/riding bikes ever since. I raced motocross for years and have always rode something on two wheels. This is my 5th street bike and I have yet to lay one down on pavement so I hope I would not fall under that category. You cant seriously say that you turbo'd your bike to keep it on 2 wheels. I mean why?

If you've been riding as long as you say you have without a crash incident, then you are the universal exception to the laws of probability. Just remember, given a long enough time-line, everyone crashes eventually. There is no reason to push your luck and tempt fate.
Bottom line:
A.I turboed my bike as kind of as a "science project" more so than anything else.
B.Turbocharging is a pretty elaborate endeavor to be applied to a stunt-bike. I recommend you stay N/A, it would be cheaper and yield better results for that kind of riding.
C.I don't like to see or hear about people getting hurt/killed on bikes ever. *** clowns that stunt in traffic/freeway conditions tend to make ALL riders look bad and eventually donate their flesh and organs to the pavement. Either way, natural selection comes into play.

because all i had to look at were the sig and avitar pics and all three look like the f800 (especially the avitar with the weird fairing they have and the conventional forks allong with not being able to see how menny ports are on the log manny(

B. Yes I know, This has been a complete pain in my ***. This stupid log manifold was harder to build than the one I made for my civic( look at the "stole my gf camera" thread I did.) I am not really not trying to be a STUNTA... lol I am just addicted to anything that goes "pssst" and is remotely fast. I am just tinkering in my garage and messing with my bike. Thought you guy would like to see it so I posted up.
C. I have also been amazed at my luck epically as accident prone I am. I do not want to do 200MPH wheelies next to a mini van full of kids on I 24, or be an *** clown, or make you look bad. I am just hoping I dont get "selected"
