Default Supercharger for your ZX-10R

Well A&A made a supercharger for us VFR riders and now he's got one for you Kawasaki fans. He doesn't have plans just yet to put it into production so I wouldnt bother him too much with emails and calls. He's just one smart guy doing all this.

The latest project... - VFR Discussion

Enjoy. :P

That is a nice clean install. The bracket looks like it is machined from billet. The only issue I have with it personally is about the last thing a ZX-10R needs is a bunch more power. It would probably sell like crazy to the chromed out, extended swingarm, 300mm tire, lowered and strapped crowd.

i was looking at the ecosse heretic in the latest motorcyclist in the can the other day and thinking about how id do it differently were it me and came up with an interesting thought: why havent we seen anyone move the swingarm pivot forward of the engine yet? Im assuming off hand that it would make some balance issues but you oughtta be able to throw some serious power at it before it lifts.

I'm not sure if that would work. It would put a lot more weight on the back side of the pivot. I would think this would increase the tendency of the rear to heavily squat under power.

that i think you could fix with a good rear shock/spring at an appropriate angle for the job. Im more worried about moving the fulcrum forward of the cg and what that would do to stability.

One member here has a TurboBusa that I've ridden a few times. I forget the WHP #'s but something like 257 or so and some awesome torque as well.

It's really a nice bike to ride. I didn't really think I liked Busa's until I rode his.

I rode one with a two stage turbo kit that was pretty sweet. The first stage was always on and was good for about 200ish hp. for around town riding. Stage 2 was unleashed by honking the magic horn button and was somewhere around 275+. That was the first time I ever laughed out loud and pissed my pants at the same time. There's something religious about having a Busa roll the front wheel off the ground at 140...

The dyno sheet on that Kwak gave me a chubb. Nice install too.
