If you were presented with the same opportunity again, would you continue to carry that regret?

Since I've got one A&A supercharger kit and two 5th gens, I have often thought about making my own.  It wouldn't be rocket science to reverse-engineer what A&A did and assemble a new kit of parts doing pretty much the same thing, but neither would it be "cheap".  Ethically, once he abandoned the market, he can't really blame people for thinking about resorting to "self-help". 

 

Unfortunately, I didn't measure anything before I installed mine, so I'd have to remove it from the bike to do that.  If only someone with mad engineering and fabrication skills had had such a kit in his hands for an extended period of time before installing it... :tongue:

 

Ciao,

The thought crossed my mind.

 

A new 5th gen kit would have the same issues I worked through on mine re: oil reservoir location and re-plumbing the Rotrex oil supply with an oil cooler.

No I could afford it now 👍😁

I was going to refer you the my build thread "Beware the Yellow Peril", but it's so old it seems to have vanished... Yes, I still have it, but it is on my yellow bike in California, but I'm seriously thinking of moving it to Europe soon.  

 

If so, I will definitely be discussing some oiling system modifications with Seb!

 

Ciao,

It should stay in California, too much $ to ship over.
 

Happy to help, can drive down and pick up, got cash. :cool:
