Just because you can...

Couldn't that be a supercharger of some kind? Fuel injection at least - possibly with injectors much closer to the head.


Anyway - sure you should!

There is that fabricated panel below the tranny, if you blow it up you can see what looks like a ignition switch there, maybe a tiny battery next to it.

And, btw, that little panel is the only thing I don't like on the bike. If that panel had been pounded out of aluminum, wit soft corners that blended with the engine cases, I would have found that much more satisfying. As it is, it's the only thing on the bike that looks like an afterthought, and a compromise.

I like the panel fine. It looks home made but for me it fits. As far as the lines of the bike, I really really really do not like the rear plates where the axle goes through.

No, it's a Weber DCOE side draft carburetor.

I thought it looked like a DCOE but a supercharger would have been nicer. I wonder why superchargers are not used more often on bikes as they work great on cars. There was a BMW boxer race bike with a supercharger way back.

The Kompressor
(as usual: clickey the picket)

They did a neat job of bolting the kompressor on the front of the engine. Simple; driven straight off the crank and no synch problems with the single carb.

I have a Kompressor on my my car. You can't see it, which is a shame but it's in there somewhere.

Nice word Kompressor

Yep, factories are like that, even then.
