Ok. I know most of you guys are dead set against doing something crazy to get more power out of your bikes, and I know I am probably going to catch some slack from this. But… Here it goes… I am trying to put a supercharger on the bike. First, I think superchargers are pretty badass looking, but the extra power is what I am shooting for. Problem is, I can’t seem to find them for metric cruisers. They have them for Harley’s, but that seems to be about it. I have seen a few pictures of people with some pretty sweet bikes on this website, and am wanting to know if anyone has fitted a supercharger. And if so, where from and how? After that, I am wanting to put a big bore kit and a bigger cam, but I am wanting a supercharger first… I will tackle the big bore kit and cam at a much later date when I get back from deployment and have cash. all of these "i wants"... its kinda funny...
I know I must be one of those guys that is a slow learner. No matter how much you guys keep telling me this is not a power cruiser bike, I definitely am trying to create one from it. I am not trying to be daft, but I definitely like my bike and would like it more if I had more power. It kinda gets under my skin like an irritating splinter.
Thanks for the help!

Exactly. That is what I am wanting with this bike. There has to be a way… They have had vtx’s out for how many years (since 02’ or so… right??), and no one has put a supercharger on it yet? There has to always be that first idiot that goes beyond the bounds of reality and try it... (normally that guy gets killed... but for the sake of posterity I think we should leave that part out)

See, how I see it is it doesn’t have to put out the 30psi the superchargers I was looking at produce. In all actuality, I am not looking for an 80 bhp gain, 40 would suit me just fine with that mod. The only problem I am facing is they don’t make them at all…. They seem to make them for every auto except the one that you own. That sucks… hee hee
