All that American Chopper ---- has really impressed me with what people are doing with bikes these days. I would love to have one later, but of course I wouldn't try to fake the funk like I'm a biker or anything. I know that kind of ---- is sacred with the biker guys. Cool ---- though.
(How about some movie reviews once in a while.) ::) ;)

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

It's good to know you're still alive Erich, I thought the fiero might have gone up in flames taking you with it or something. How are your machining classes going? make me something cool.

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

Damn I dont usually like harleys but yours is sweet as hell. Ok let me jump of the nuts now. So everyone at your job has a harley??

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

he works at the harley dealership. where have you been during the last six months? ------- noob.

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

Didnt know that. last time I remember him posting I was still wearing my pull-ups.

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

hahaha, a humble noob. I think this almost counteracts your gay porn incident in that other thread that sucked so you are at a -.3 now.

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

Hold on.. cant I be at 0 with you buddy. Everybody needs freinds in hell.

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

not to burst your bubble, but occ are hacks. all they do is assemble preordered parts and then weld steel bar to fenders. the only one worth recognition on that show is that kid justin that does their paint...he is very good.

check us out...we do everything. we just finished building sully's bike.( godsmack ) it's gonna be on ride with flex and in a bunch of magazines. www.chopperworks.com

oh...nice work on the turbo harley...that will be a pretty pimp bike.

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

LOL no the fiero is still good as am i. As for OCC i have to agree with ala ,they don't build just assemble. Some of my friends met them a few days ago in daytona and he said all of them except mikey and vinnie where jerks ,even cody. Im more of a old school cafe kinda rider ,if i don't need it ripe the fucker off and give it more power ;D. As for the setup here are they parts i got;

Screamin Eagle Adj. ignition module
Screamin Eagle dual ignition coil
Screamin Eagle 8mm spark plug wires
Screamin Eagle high tensile stud kit
Buell thunderstorm heads
883 cylinders bored to 1200 then 10 over
Wiseco 883 to 1200 reversed cut pistons 10 over
HSR 42mm Mikuni flatside carb ( not on yet ,mods needed to fit)

The turbo i decided to use is a garret gt14 ,pretty damn small compared to my T3. I managed to get a whole bunch of stock headers that where take offs. We were going to throw them all away so i decided to take them and use the bends to fab some headers for the turbo. I need to break in the bike now as well as getting use to it. Since i did the conversion she rides alot rougher but with way more power. I did a death test and her comp ratio is like 8.5 - 9 to 1 ,turbo friendly ;). Im wanting to run around 6 psi and try to get about 150hp out of her. The cool thing is harley motors aways put out more tourqe then hp ,I may have to convert to chain.Oh well i will toy with her on the dyno and go from there. I wanted to take more pics but got limited on time and had to put her togather fast. I will keep everyone up to date ;D.

my girls dad collects those shits....he just bought a pink Von Dutch bike from a show in Fl for like 50gs or someshit supposedly its off the hook i wanna see it

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

Given me ideas for my Buell Lightning :)

Im honestly not a big fan of harley proper, but your bike looks great as a street-fighter. reminds me of my old street fighter Kawi GPz750 Turbo in a way :)

Re:building the beast...turbo harley project (56k warning)
 

Thanks for all the comliments guys. Buells are bad ass bike you just gotta know how to tap into what they are made for.Its no busa but then again you don't got 2 extra cylinders ,water pump ,radiator and your power doesn't kick in til 5 grand. A buell will eat one when it comes to turns ;) ,which is what the buell was made for. Speaking of Von Dutch that guy is the ------- man ,one of my buddies loves his work ,major old school.
