saw one on a tri- glide yesterday in Wildwood N.J. just wondering, have any of you done this to your trikes or can you tell me something more about them.Curious about how much H.P. you get by doing this and how many other changes you have to do to your trike , if any.

I forgot my phone, I had it locked up in my trike and my wife's phone went dead , still mad at myself for that, but I can say it was sharp looking and very clean , didn't look out of place.

Talked to a guy at a HD shop north of me who had a pro charger on his Electra Glide.Said he had no issues with it for 35,000 miles then twisted his crank after rebuilding and welding the crank he said he upped the boost to 10 pounds said it is a tire shredder.
 
Am I correct when I say that the wet head tri glide has 10 to 1 compression ratio and wouldn't that be a little to high for a super charger? I always thought that a lower compression ratio was the norm when you ran a super charger, can they be adjusted for a higher ratio?

I won't be putting any super charger on my trike any time soon it goes fast enough for me stock, I was just curious. But you know what they say, curiosity killed the cat, come to think about it, I've got a cat on my trike right now that needs killing. ;)

I'm really amazed it held up for that long,before letting loose. I've built four turbocharged CBX Hondas and one supercharged V-Max Yamaha. All but one were built to handle boost. A stock 80 CBX with stock internals only lasted about 5K miles before it started hurting parts,at 10lbs/boost. (160rwhp) One of my built prostreet turbo CBX's made 303rwhp @ 26lbs/boost.

I thought about a Procharger install on my Street Glide before deciding against it because of total cost. Just my opinion but I think a 117"-124" or bigger normally aspirated engine would be my first preference. Would like to see around 125hp & 135tq. Probably overkill on a Harley trike,though.
