I've received a lot of feedback since our trip to the sand dunes at Little Sahara Utah on Easter weekend concerning our turbo bikes. Many were impressed and very supportive of our efforts.

However, I've also received many comments on how slow our drag bikes are.
From what I've been hearing, it's getting spread around that our so-called "drag bikes" are pretty pathetic.

I just wanted to clear up any misunderstandings and make sure that you all know that these are NOT drag bikes.

These are Stock Raptor 700's (686) with our turbo kits and a SLC +4 or +6 swingarm.

We at present do not build nor own a "Turbo Drag bike" Just duners....

If you want some clean, smooth power....give one a try....you won't be disappointed....

Now that we have cleared that up.....Let's ride!

Cool, just wondering if cost is worth the increase, and difficulty of install. Not something I would do, but just curious for BS knowledge. :lol:

I would say absolutely.  If you look at the power you can get from the turbo on a bone stock bike, it will cost you alot of cash to build a motor that will run with it.  Think of what it will cost for a crank, big bore kit, cnc head, valves and springs, cam, exhaust, ignition, throttle body, etc.  You can send your motor off to a builder and make killer power on a stock bore and stroke also, but that's gonna run you too.  I just came up with 3000 easily on just parts in my motor and I got great deals along the way and put it together myself.  Looking at the time and effort to build a stout bike and shipping parts back and forth slapping a turbo on and being done is a very nice option for anyone IMHO.

Love it:

"slap a turbo on it"   :lol: Like it's no biggie.

If you can install your own engine internals (cam, piston, crank, etc.) and do your own basic mechanic work then installing a well thought out turbo system (slap it on) shouldn't be too tough to accomplish, someone else has already done all the R&D work for us on this kit.  No hill for us climbers, right? :nod: :thumbs:
