Okay,
I see the Turbo unit, but I don't see the exhaust pipes, just what
looks like a canister down below the 4 header pipes??
I also see a dual spark plug 4 coils system, note the extra wires
sticking out the left side on the rear wheel photo!
Also those carbs look like flatside style, definitely tons of power
but wonder how driveable it is. Looks like it will go in a straight
line real well and real fast!!

I see it has the OEM 160mph speedo, so if it's not working, I
would think you would be able to send it to a speedo shop for
repairs??
Thanks for sharing this wonderful CUSTOM machine!

PS, to keep your posts from going way past the screen, just hit
the carrriage return/enter key at the end of each line in the post
window instead of relying on the auto format, and it will keep all
of the text within the left side for easy viewing!!

Take THAT to the Brag n Drag...

.. I "lovit" too!.. HOLY CRAP thats cool!!
how about a post of your dyno sheet?
i can see how you did most of your work [what i can see in the
pictures] but what modifications have you done to the clutches to
keep them from slipping like banana peels with all that extra
traction and all those extra ponies?!
.. also those head light brackets are bitchin!

oh yeah, these (!!) couldn't possibly express the amount of
excitement that you have created here today!

now that is one bad a$$ xs1100 or how ever bike it is and that would be cool if he could make it to the brag and drag next summer

WOW!!!!

Awsome machine!

Is that a truck tire?, was reading on another thead about using
car tires on rear. I love the width of it, but that is prob the
testosterone talking, and looks like you need a lot of rubber on
the ground with that sweet machine!

Niccce!

The Left Side Photos

Okay, Viper sent me a link to some new photos of the left side,
they are in a HP photo album, they do not allow direct linking,
so I've put them on my photodump site!









I'd like to see a bit more of what's beneath the drive chain
sprocket cover, and how he fitted the bearings to the shaft,
where, etc.! Well, DUH, I just saw that he avoided the chain
hitting the swingarm and frame by being able to position it
OUTSIDE the frame!!!!!!

Is that monoshock or rigid? My guess is rigid. I notice it's got mounts for a wheelie bar.

[MAXIMAN]

IMPRESSIVE!

I bet that beast could almost stay up with the Flying Kaw!

[TopCatGr58]

Hey 650Mike,

Well, now that I look at it more closely, I think you're right, however
Viper/Mike hasn't been very verbose about what all he's done to it?
The Swingarm/rigid frame mounts to the outside of the OEM frame
mount/bearing location. The passenger footpegs are part of the
swingarm frame, and it's quite close to the fender, looks like it's
mounted to a bracket just above the top portion of the swingarm
frame structure! It's just that in one of the right side views, it
looked like I thought I saw the coils of a spring in there right above
the footpeg, to the right of that brake hose and left of the frame
rail? There's a platform down under the front of the swingarm,
thought the monoshock attached there, but then looking at the
views of the left side, the upper frame rails that go over the fender and support the seat looks quite solid! I guess he lets the
large rear wheel obsorb the bumps, along with the thinly padded
seat cushion?!

While it certainly looks streetable, it looks to be more suitable for the dragstrip. Sure is truly bitchin' though.

TC...There is a single exhaust exiting the turbo on the right side, looks like an air cleaner on the left. Wonder if it throws flames out the exhaust?
Betcha it looks wild at night.

Viper, has it been run at the drags?

[GNEPIG]

.. THOR!.. you think your @ss is THOR! Try riding that thing for 50 miles!

For those of you tired of messing with carbs, have a close look - looks like Keihin FCR37s

[Winterhawk]

Ken, are they? That's one nice bike and I've thought I've seen some of the best. My first guess was Electron Carbs. Let us know.
