Sold a blower to a cool guy in the UK

[LaMonster]

I guess between him and his mate they have put together some cool Valkyries.

They have one Valkyrie that has been bored out to right at 1800cc but they are have a problem keeping head gaskets in the thing because the walls are too thin :( So now they bought a wrecked 1800cc goldwing and have put that in a Valkyrie. They just bought a wrecked blower bike and they are going to put the blower on the 1800 gw :D That should run pretty good.

The guy who ordered the blower has a tricked out Valkyrie with the Mario gears and one that is bone stock that he is putting the blower on.

Sounds like these UK guys are having lots of fun with the Valks. :D

I was thinking the same thing, especially the blown 1800. Did they keep it fuel injected or covert to carb?

As far as I know that is still a work in progress. I would like to see that too. :D I'll see if I can get some pictures.

Hey LA,
I noticed your location of East TN, I'm in Oak Ridge (yeah, the nuke town).
How close are you?

Has anyone considered doing a blower for the VTX? (I already know about the (yuck) Dr. Turbo, and Barry's Velocity Racing's turbo kit.
But, nothing is cooler than a blower, especially a roots type!!
I wanted a blower on my Vmax SOOO bad, but, never got around to it...

Not sure where Oak Ridge is but I'm off of Hwy 81 and exit 23 if you know where that is.

As far as a blower for the VTX I know some guys have looked into it but nobody has ponied up the R&D cost to do it. It would be well over 10K and a lot of work. I would guess it would take about 6 months to a year after they had the cash. I'm not sure there is a real market for them at this time.

Oakridge, I bought a load of hay up there last fall. Traveled a good motorcyle road getting there and hope to go back on the bike this summer.

Thanks V-Man,
