Ah, your bike was also a death trap Skip. If your bike and you are 720 LBs compared to my 730 and your 200HP compared to my 170ish? and you ran a 9.97 @149.7 compared to my 8.5s 150s, I would expect you to fly into outer space with tire, chassis, bar and clutch. Seems you had way more power than you could use with that thing. Will be interested in hearing how the blower bike handles with that same amount of power.

Nice looking part. I assume the spring is on the bottom and pushed the valve closed. Vacuum hookup seems to close the valve too? Seems backwards to me.

to install the bypass valve .
Few months ago I bought from ebay a "new" billet clutch basket , which I´m going to
install ( anybody needs oem efe clutch basket with new APE back plate and springs ? ) .
Then there are some other small things to do before first test ride .
I let you know , when I have some progress .

Now I have installed the bypass valve , changed the clutch basket and modified efi trigger wheel . I took one more teeth away from the trigger wheel ( it´s now 8-2 ) . It should help ignition timing when starting the engine .
Support bearing/hall-pick up + trigger wheel/crankshaf extension
Bypass

I made some adjustments to ignition and fuel maps and get engine idle 2000 1/min .
Then I think to get it better and it went worse , but now I know what to do get it better .
Suspension , brakes and whole bike feels good , but air/fuel ratio needs some adjustments . It get´s too much fuel . When I twist the throttle it allmost stops and then with heavy black smoke it starts to go ( and it goes ! ) .
Boost come´s immediatly ( 7 psi ) when I twist a throttle more and the supercharger sounds good when it´s making boost .
Few hundred miles more testride and adjusting and then to the dyno .
