[QUOTE="Bob Blackman, post: 3359, member: 1014"] "the trouble with a super charger is its always on:eek:" Wouldn't that be a good thing, though? I know Honda turbo'ed the CX500 vee-twin but that was more of a technological shop window than a genuine performance need, a sort of "we can do anything - even force feeding a vee twin" attitude. Which come to think of it, is the kind of attitude the character in my book would have. My initial thoughts were either a supercharger driven off the end of the crank or driven off the clutch, like Super Nero, with the latter being the favourite. But Daveinnola's got me thinking. Maybe two little baby turbos would be better. It's gotta look good, though. I really like the solid power look of the Vincent engine and don't want to create another plumber's nightmare. Although my story's fantasy, I want the engineering to be technically feasible. [/QUOTE]
