Chinoy Hi
I'm in a quandry, why should you need to attempt to S/charge or turbo a Bullet? These bikes were not designed for it, I mean no offense but surely it goes against what these bikes were designed to do, that is provide a relaxing, reliable ride in the manner which they do. I if had a need for speed I would have kept the Suzuki, 230 kph and handling like a rocket sled on rails. Please do not take this as criticism, but I for the life of me cannot grasp the reasoning behind your thoughts. I think that it would take away the character of what is a great little bike that has evolved over the time to near Japanese reliability. I take my hat off to you to have the technicial ability to carry out such a task, my mechanical skills are at best very basic and engineering skills are non existant, that's one of the reasons for buying a G5. I shall be following your experiences with interest and wish you all the success, as I said this was in no way meant as a criticism , simply asking why ?
Cheers
Because of all the reasons you quoted above.
i.e. its the last bike anybody would think of doing this too.
the fact that its such a mind freak for so many people is just a bonus.
In a way I agree with you but unless you have owned or striped down a C5. This is a very different machine. Some people see that very clearlly. Some dont. to some its just a bullet.
there could be personal reasons too. One of which is I have a score to settle with some RD guys. And beating them on a bullet is in a way the ultimate humiliation and insult. a kinda whoes your daddy in tuning kinda scene.
Dont worry though. The Forced induction is for stage 4. I still have stages 2 & 3 to finish. Which is custom cams rockers and pistons and ECU amongst other things.
Its a bit like having sex with an old lady.
She still has it in her. If you know how to ride her.
A short clip from our Pratice runs.
I take it you wouldnt approve of the riding style. But hey its my bike.
Ps: the rider is a friend Roopin Ram.

I respect ace a lot. He is my Bullet GURU.
But remember most of what he is talking about is from his Exp. with the old cast iron bullet. On which score he is absolutely right. This is not a CI or a AVL. Its the C5 a very very diffirent machine.
Ps3:
We soup up out little moped two stroke 100cc bikes to make more power and go faster than the avrage bullet. So I dont need a fancy suzuki to go fast.
Just a respectful argument between two buddies drinking a beer. In a way I agree with everything you have said. but In still gona go ahead with this project.
I know the turbo is probably not going to spin up. But I have a friend who builds custom super chargers. He did one for a 150cc four stroke, which ran really well. So that route is always there.
Ps4: If you dont like my project then I dont know what you will think of this guys lol
